Cooking Quinoa

Rinse and Cook Quinoa
Rinse 1 cup of quinoa under cold water to remove any bitterness. In a medium saucepan, combine rinsed quinoa with 2 cups of water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the quinoa is fluffy and the water is absorbed.
Preparing Vegetables
- 2
Chop Vegetables
While the quinoa is cooking, chop the cucumber into small cubes, halve the cherry tomatoes, and slice the avocado in half to remove the pit. Scoop out the flesh and slice it into thin pieces.
