Preparation Instructions
Cook the Quinoa
Rinse 1 cup of quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa with 2 cups of water. 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 has been absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for an additional 5 minutes.
Combine Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, mixed greens, chopped cucumber, diced tomato, sliced red onion, and corn.
Add Dressing
Pour 0.5 cup of house dressing over the salad mixture. Gently toss until all ingredients are well coated with the dressing.
Serve
Divide the salad into serving bowls and enjoy immediately, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.
