Directions:

  1. Rinse and agitate quinoa in cool water.

  4. For the salad, combine carrots, bell pepper, tomatoes, broccoli, radishes, garlic and cucumber together in a bowl.
  5. Line serving dishes with spinach, and heap hot quinoa on top so that spinach wilts slightly under the heat.
  6. Surround the quinoa with the vegetable mixture.
  7. Peel beet, shred, and sprinkle on top of quinoa.
  8. Sprinkle with pumpkin seeds.
