Ingredients

    1 cup quinoa, dry
    1 tbsp olive oil
    2 tbsp red wine vinegar
    1-1/2 cup cucumber quartered and sliced thinly
    1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
    salt & pepper

Directions

Bring 1-1/2 cups of salted water to a boil. Add quinoa and reduce to a simmer. Cook until all water is absorbed about 15 mins. Move to a bowl and chill in the fridge.

Once cool, toss with the remaining ingredients, and a dash of salt and pepper. Great right away, even better if you let it chill longer to let the flavors meld.
