3rd Place Winner for the Taste of Home contest

The 3^rd Place recipe is a Quinoa and Black Bean Salad. 

A Representative from Taste of Home said, “It was entered in the healthy category, but it is SO good that you'd eat it whether you wanted to eat right or not. It's a great mix of flavors and textures. It really surprised us!” 

The winner of this amazing dish is Yvonne Compton from Elkton Charter School in Elkton Oregon.  A $5,000 check was presented to principal Mike Hughes on behalf of Elkton Charter school and another $5,000 check was presented to Yvonne Compton for her submission of the Quinoa and Black Bean Salad.  These checks were presented at an all school assembly at 9 a.m. PST this morning. 

Congratulations Yvonne, your recipe was selected third out of more than 14,000 recipe submissions.
