Ingredients
Ingredients:1/2 cup dry whole grain quinoa5 plum or roma tomatoes chopped1/2 cup chopped raw onions (white or yellow)1 cup chopped cucumber (peeled)3 cups chopped fresh parsley3 cloves (or 1 Tbsp) chopped or minced garlic1/4 cup fresh lemon juiceSalt and pepper to taste
Directions
Boil 1 cup of water and add 1/2 cup of quinoa. Cook on low/simmer until water is absorbed, about 20+ min. (Or follow the directions on the package you have). It should end up as soft as cooked rice when done. While that is cooking, chop tomatoes, onion, cucumber, and parsley and add to a big bowl. After the quinoa is done and cooled, add it to the chopped veggie mix and then add the garlic, salt, pepper and lemon juice. Taste and add more spices if desired.
