For a protein boost, consider adding cooked chickpeas or black beans to the quinoa mixture. Feel free to experiment with different vegetables, such as zucchini, carrots, or spinach. A squeeze of fresh lemon or lime juice adds a bright, zesty finish to the dish. Toasting the quinoa before cooking can enhance its nutty flavor. Dry toast the quinoa in a pan over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring constantly, until lightly golden and fragrant.
