#BaptistHealthy: Quinoa Salad with Avocado Dressing

Whole grains, such as quinoa and farro, provide essential vitamins, minerals and fiber which help regulate the digestive system and keep you fuller and more satisfied. Quinoa is gluten-free, high in protein and contains essential amino acids which are important for building muscle and regulating the immune system.

This recipe, created by Oscar Castillo, lead cook at Miami Cancer Institute [1], will be served at this year’s WOW luncheon [2] on Saturday, Sept. 21.  “A versatile grain, quinoa can be eaten hot or cold and it’s healthy and delicious too,” Mr. Castillo says.
