Serve this antioxidant-rich quinoa salad for a light lunch or as a side dish for an evening meal. Beets are high in phytonutrients called betalains, which support detoxification pathways. This is also what gives beets their dark purplish-red color. Betalains are destroyed by heat, so it's best to eat them raw or very lightly steamed if your goal is to consume high amounts of these anti-cancer detoxification compounds!
