Hearty quinoa is a well-known superstar in grain bowls and salads, but don’t rule it out as a striking side. Over a mix of raw and cooked vegetables, this dish’s tangy, Asian-inspired vinaigrette calls to mind the light, vegetable-oil-based soy-maple marinade we used for the pork chops, tying everything together on the plate.
