Bring water to a boil, then simmer until water is absorbed.
What is Quinoa?
The cornerstone of this fresh and flavorful dish is Tri-Color Quinoa. In the realm of gastronomy, quinoa stands as a gluten-free superfood. Its delicate balance of nuttiness and subtle hints of sweetness offers a unique taste and texture that elevates every plate. Our blend features red, black, and white quinoa for the ultimate flavor profile.
Quinoa’s exceptional versatility is matched by its nutritional profile. Bursting with plant-based protein, essential nutrients, and an abundance of dietary fiber, this ancient grain is a wholesome addition to any diet.

Mediterranean Influences
Mediterranean cuisine can be characterized by simple, fresh ingredients and preparation. This recipe embodies that essence with its simple preparation and vibrant notes of dill, lemon, and cherry tomatoes. These flavors harmonize with the omnipresent olive oil, which is of course a staple in this region’s cuisine.
Salmon is a popular lean protein choice in the region. Packed with omega-3 fatty acids, this fish boasts a rich, buttery flavor which is elevated by an infusion of spices and olive oil. The whole dish comes together seamlessly over a bed of fluffy quinoa and aromatic dill sauce.
