Sun Dried Tomato and Spinach Quinoa with Smoked Sausage

High in protein and fiber, my spinach quinoa recipe makes a great easy weekday dinner. Quinoa is one of the most versatile of super-foods. It's a go-to for many Vegetarians. This dish is easily Vegetarian friendly by leaving out the smoked sausage.
