This Quinoa Salad With Corn and Red Pepper is a satisfying and nutritious meal. Called a supergrain, quinoa dates back to the Incan civilization. It has more protein than most grains (5 grams per serving) and is gluten- and wheat-free.

I split the recipe into five (for my week's lunches) and got about 2.5 to 3 cups in each serving, in case anyone is wondering how big the portions are.
