Salad Preparation
- 1
Cook Quinoa
Rinse the red quinoa under cold water. 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, or until the quinoa is cooked and water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
