Ingredients:
| 1 cup dry quinoa |
| 2 tablespoons fruity extra virgin olive oil |
| 4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice |
| 2 fresh mint sprigs, leaves removed and chopped |
| 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves |
| 8 grape tomatoes, quartered |
| 2 tablespoons diced red onion |
| 1 clove garlic, minced |
| Sea salt, to taste |
| Fresh ground pepper, to taste |
Directions:
- Cook the dry quinoa as you would raw rice: in 2 and 1/2 cups fresh salted water, bring to boil then simmer, cover and cook for 20 minutes. (water should be absorbed and quinoa is translucent and fluffy).
- Scoop the cooked quinoa into a bowl and add the rest of the ingredients, tossing lightly with a fork until combined. Taste test and adjust seasonings.
- Cover and chill.
