Quinoa is often touted for its incredible nutritional benefits, but we like it because it’s also delicious, especially when paired with the stunning black rice we get from Lotus Foods. Here, Chef Justine combines them both with fresh radishes and cucumbers to make a hearty, satisfying grain salad that’s perfect for dinner or lunch.

- 6 ounces Persian cucumber
