Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Rinse Quinoa

    Start by rinsing the quinoa under cold water in a fine mesh strainer to remove any bitterness.

  2. 2

    Cook Quinoa

    In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa, water, salt, and olive oil. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

  3. 3

    Simmer Quinoa

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the quinoa simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes.

Vegetable Preparation

  1. 4

    Chop Vegetables

    While the quinoa is cooking, chop the red bell pepper, cucumber, red onion, and cherry tomatoes into bite-sized pieces. Finely chop the fresh parsley.

Dressing Preparation

  1. 5

    Make the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, honey, minced garlic, and black pepper until well combined.

Combine Ingredients

  1. 6

    Mix Everything Together

    In a large bowl, fluff the cooked quinoa with a fork. Add the chopped vegetables and pour the dressing over the top. Toss everything together until evenly coated.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve the Solarce 20 chilled or at room temperature.
