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

Chop Ingredients
While the quinoa is cooking, chop the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red bell pepper, and avocado into bite-sized pieces. Place them in a large mixing bowl.

Make Dressing
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create a dressing.

Combine and Serve
Once the quinoa is ready and slightly cooled, add it to the bowl with the chopped vegetables. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine. Finally, add the chopped fresh parsley and give it a final toss. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.
