Yum, tearty, Spicy Sweet Potato and Quinoa Salad!

Hi tearty!

I'm writing to share two things today. First, a delicious high
protein salad by Jolinda Hackett.

And second, a "guest pass" to an eye-opening Q&A call with Trevor
Justice tomorrow (Thursday) night at 9:30pm EST. The topics?

1) Plant sources of calcium, iron, Omega 3s, Vitamins A, B12, and D
2) How to eat well while traveling
3) How to maximize the life of fresh produce
4) The Vegan / Vegetarian Mastery Program

But first, let's talk about this week's sweet and spicy recipe. It's
high in protein and low in fat. Whole grain quinoa cooks quicker than
most grains and is an excellent source of protein, with about 11
grams of protein per cup of cooked quinoa.

This recipe makes for a great main dish or a salad. Bring it to a
picnic and impress your friends!

* 1 red bell pepper, diced
* 2 tbsp olive oil
* 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
* 2 tbsp lemon juice

Preparation:

Simmer the quinoa in the vegetable broth until water is gone and
quinoa is light and fluffy when stirred. (Usually 15 minutes).
Remove from heat and allow to cool.

Toss together the quinoa, sweet potato and bell pepper in a large
bowl.

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil
and cayenne pepper. Gently toss this dressing with the quinoa.
