Quinoa Parsley Salad
Ingredients
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 3 tomatoes, diced
  • 1 cucumber, diced
  • 2 bunches green onions, diced
  • 2 carrots, grated
  • 1 cup chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
1
Begin by placing water on the stovetop and bringing it to a rolling boil in a medium-sized saucepan. Next, add the quinoa and a small amount of salt to the pan, stirring gently to combine.
2
Once the quinoa is submerged in water and heated through, decrease the heat to a low setting and cover the saucepan with a lid. Allow it to cook, undisturbed, for 15 minutes, or until the quinoa is tender and fluffy.
3
After the cooking time has elapsed, remove the saucepan from the heat source and let it cool to a comfortable temperature.
4
While the quinoa is cooling, prepare the salad ingredients in a large bowl by combining olive oil, sea salt, freshly squeezed lemon juice, diced tomatoes, sliced cucumber, chopped green onions, grated carrots, and chopped parsley.
5
Once the quinoa has cooled to room temperature, fluff it with a fork to separate the grains and restore its natural texture.
6
Finally, stir in the cooled quinoa into the salad mixture until well combined.
