Crunchy-Sweet Quinoa Couscous with Fresh HerbsAmy Neunsinger

Herbaceous and packed with fiber and protein, this grain salad is a keeper.

Cooks' notes:

To save time, skip the first two steps (and the kombu) and use drained and rinsed canned chickpeas in place of dried. Kombu is a type of edible kelp available at Japanese and health food stores.
