1
Toasting the Quinoa
In a medium saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the quinoa and toast for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently until the quinoa is golden and fragrant.
2
Cooking the Quinoa
Add water and salt to the toasted quinoa. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for another 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
3
Making the Lemon Tahini Vinaigrette
In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of tahini, the juice of 1 lemon, 1 tablespoon of water, and salt to taste until smooth and creamy.

Combining Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa with the lemon tahini vinaigrette. Toss well to ensure the quinoa is evenly coated.
