1 cup quinoa

2 cups water

1 large cucumber, diced

2 medium tomatoes, diced

1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Rinse the quinoa under cold water to remove any bitterness.
In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the quinoa, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed and the quinoa is tender.
Remove the quinoa from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
In a large bowl, combine the quinoa, diced cucumber, diced tomatoes, red onion, and fresh parsley.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the dressing over the quinoa mixture and toss gently to combine.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for an hour to let the flavors meld together.
