Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups organic quinoa cooked and cooled
- 1 1/2 cups bunches of Italian flat-leaf parsley
- 1/2 cup fresh organic mint
- 1/2 cup fresh organic cilantro
- 1/4 cup lemon juice or more to taste
- 1/4 cup cold-pressed olive oil (can use less)
- 1 cup cucumbers diced with seeds removed
- 1 green onion chopped finely (can omit)
- Celtic sea salt or Himalayan salt to taste ground pepper to taste
Instructions
- Rinse 1 cup of uncooked quinoa and combine with 2 cups of water. Bring to boil and cover for 3-5 minutes. Lower the heat and simmer, uncovered until quinoa is tender which will take around 10-15 minutes.
- Finely chops the herbs and mix in a bowl with lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Dice the cucumbers and mix them with the other ingredients. Mix quinoa in and let sit fir few minutes prior to eating.
- As an aside, I do prefer to let the quinoa cool prior to mixing as then it does not heat up the fresh herbs.
