I love dishes that can do double or even triple duty! This versatile Quinoa Fiesta Bowl recipe can make a great meatless meal (skip the ground turkey), side dish, or a salad depending on what I’m craving. Also, it tastes great both warm and cold and it’s loaded with protein, fiber and healthy fats for a super filling meal.
