Quinoa Salad

1/2 cup quinoa, rinsed & drained
1 cup water
1/4 tsp. salt

1 tsp. crushed garlic
2 tbsp. olive oil
2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper

1 small Roma tomato, diced
1 cup diced English cucumber
1/4 cup finely diced red onion

Bring the water to a boil. Add ¼ tsp salt & rinsed quinoa. Lower heat to a simmer and cook until all of the liquid absorbs, 10-15 minutes. Set aside to cool.

Mix the garlic, oil, lemon, salt & pepper in a small bowl and set aside.

Combine the tomato, cucumber and onion and mix well. Add the quinoa and dressing and mix well. Refrigerate until you’re ready to serve.

Serves 2 – 3.
