QUINOA PILAF WITH SALMON, SPINACH AND MUSHROOMS
This is such a nutrient-dense food, packed with omega-3, protein, vitamins and minerals! I made this as a main dish, but it can also be served as a side dish or for brunch. Add a green salad and you can have a very healthy supper! Please visit my blog, www.InnerHarmonyNutrition.com for more gluten-free, low-GI recipes.
