How do I make quinoa taste better?

Bacon will make your quinoa taste better

I bet that was a surprise (said sarcastically).

Over the last few weeks I’ve been eating a lot of quinoa. I’ve been buying it, cooking it, putting it into salads and eating it.

Tonight I made a delicious quinoa salad and made it more delicious with two rashers of streaky bacon.
