Preparation Instructions

Cook the Quinoa
Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the quinoa is fluffy and the water is absorbed.

Prepare the Dressing
In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, minced garlic, salt, and olive oil. Adjust seasoning with black pepper to taste.

Mix Everything Together
