Prep Time:10 minutes Cook Time:20 minutes Total Time:30 minutes Servings: 4

ingredients

• 2 cups water (or broth)


• 1 cup quinoa, rinsed


• 1 cup tomato, diced


• 1 cup cucumber, diced


• 1/2 cup parsley, chopped


• 1/4 cup mint, chopped (optional)


• 1/4 cup green onions, chopped


• 1/4 cup lemon juice


• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil


• salt and pepper to taste

directions

Bring the water and quinoa to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer until the quinoa is tender and the liquid has all been absorbed, about 15 minutes, before letting it sit, covered, for 5 minutes, and then letting it cool to room temperature.

Option: Make a pomegranate salad dressing with 6 tablespoon olive oil, 3 tablespoons lemon juice, 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon pomegranate molasses, 1 teaspoon dijon mustard, 1 clove garlic (minced or grated), and salt and pepper to taste. This makes 1 cup and you only need about 1/4 cup for the salad.
