I've made really nice a quinoa salad with a whole whack of stuff in it like celery, apple, carrots, grapes, nuts, dried cranberries, and topped it off with just a simple dressing of apple cider vinegar, touch of sugar, and oil.

But I got turned off when I realized that the two times I got sick, I had also eaten quinoa so now i'm very reluctant to do anything with them. It could be it was a bad batch, but you know how it is when you get sick after eating something.
