1. 1

   Cook the Quinoa

   Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of quinoa with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it cool.

   Prepare the Vegetables

   While the quinoa is cooking, chop the cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red bell pepper, and red onion. Place them in a large mixing bowl.

3. 3

   Combine Ingredients

   Once the quinoa has cooled, add it to the bowl with the vegetables. Mix in the chopped parsley.

4. 4

   In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Pour the dressing over the quinoa salad and toss to combine.
