Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Cook the Quinoa

    Rinse the quinoa under cold water to remove any bitterness. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the quinoa is fluffy and all the liquid is absorbed.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vegetables

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

  3. 3

    Make the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Once the quinoa is cooked, let it cool for a few minutes, then add it to the bowl with the chopped vegetables. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss everything together gently to combine.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the salad. Serve immediately or refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
