Ingredients: 1 cup uncooked quinoa,2 cups water,4 green onions, chopped,1 tomato, diced,1/2 large cucumber, diced,1/4 cup loosely packed fresh mint, finely minced,1/8 cup fresh parsley, finely minced,3 tablespoons olive oil,1/4 cup lemon juice, or less (to taste- I like a lot!),1 teaspoon garlic powder,Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
Instructions:
- Bring water to a boil in a medium saucepan.
- Add quinoa and stir. Cover and reduce heat. Allow quinoa to simmer on medium-low heat until all water is cooked off, about 20 minutes. Stir occasionally. Be careful not to burn your quinoa. Allow to cool.
- Place cooled quinoa into a large bowl (preferably something with an airtight lid).
- Add all remaining ingredients and gently stir until very well-mixed. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour.
- Stir again before serving.
- Can be stored, covered, in the refrigerator for two or three days. But it's best on the first day, when the veggies are still fresh and crisp!
