This is an awesome quick and easy meal that goes great with grilled veggies! Cook time is about 15 minutes since you can prepare the mix wile the quinoa is cooking. It’s best cold, so I suggest making it with plenty of time to get cool/cold, but it fine if you don’t! Enjoy!
What you need:
1 cup quinoa
1 small onion,
1 large English cucumber. Peeled and diced.
juice of 2-4 lemons (depending on taste)
1 tablespoon olive oil
mint minced
cilantro minced
1 cup of cherry or grape tomatoes
Salt to taste.
What you do:
1. Bring 1 cup quinoa and 2 cups water to a boil. Reduce and let simmer for about 12 minutes.
2. Peel and dice cucumber, Chop mint and cilantro
3. Once quinoa is done set aside and let cool ( I put mine in the freezer to speed things along!)
4. When it’s cool mix it all up and eat it all up!
NOTE: I made this without Olive Oil and it was still great! And low fat
