Hi. I'm Sylvia!

I am Dr. Sylvia Meléndez Klinger, global nutrition communicator, award-winning author, nutrition and culinary consultant, and founder of Hispanic & Multicultural Nutrition Communications. Internationally recognized as a nutrition expert, I am dedicated to helping people — especially those in underserved communities — discover the joy of creating and savoring delicious and nutritious foods.

A recent project in Africa, aimed at developing a sustainable community nutrition program for malnourished children, underscored my committment. I was also very honored to be named Loma Linda University’s Woman of the Year and to receive the prestigious Medallion Award in October 2025 from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.

Cook for about 10 minutes or until quinoa has puffed. Move pot from heat, cover and let sit for 5 minutes or until most of the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and let it cool. Meanwhile, in a blender or food processor, mix all the dressing ingredients together until creamy. Once the quinoa has cooled, add it to a large bowl, with the rest of the salad ingredients. Fold in the cilantro dressing and serve with more avocado 🥑 if desired. Serves: 6 servings #familymeals #familymealsmonth #familymealsmovement #cannedbeanscando #deliciousrecipes
