Method
Preparation Steps
- 1
Cook the Quinoa
Rinse 1 cup of quinoa under cold water to remove any bitterness. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and 2 cups of vegetable broth. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until all the broth is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes.

Prepare the Vegetables
While the quinoa is cooking, chop the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red bell pepper, and red onion into small, bite-sized pieces. Finely chop the fresh parsley.

Make the Dressing
In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper until well combined.
