Healthy recipe: Quinoa with grilled zucchini, garbanzos and cumin

A delicious source of vegetarian protein? Quinoa, of course! It is not a true grain, so it is more protein than carbs, and it offers a plethora of vital minerals as well.

Zucchini, chock-full of vitamin C and minerals, is abundant this time of year and healthy.

Garbanzo beans: high in potassium, vitamins B and E, and fiber; another powerful legume.

How can you go wrong combining these amazingly healthy foods in one delectable dish?

You can't, and Bon Appetit magazine does it with flair in their recipe, Quinoa with Grilled Zucchini, Garbanzo Beans, and Cumin, adding more healthy and tasty foods, like garlic, lemon, turmeric, and parsley. It's easy to prepare and can be made ahead if you are serving to guests.

Give a holler in the comments if you try this one out. We make what we call "Dirty Quinoa" all of the time in my house, but I've never tried this combination before -- it sounds like a winner to me!
