- 1 1/2 cups diced yams
- 3 cups water
- 2 cups quinoa, soaked and rinsed

- 1 lemon, juiced
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

Method
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil; add yams.
- Bake in the preheated oven until yams are tender and wrinkled at the edges, about 20 minutes. Cool to room temperature, about 15 minutes
- Bring water to a boil in a large saucepan. Add quinoa, stirring once; return to boil. Cook uncovered until water is absorbed, 10 to 12 minutes. Strain, shaking the sieve well to remove all moisture. Transfer to a mixing bowl.
