Quinoa has become very popular among vegetarians as a source of protein and with everyone for its nutty flavour. This is a tasty, Summer salad with fresh flavours.
Serves 4 persons
Cooking time: 15 minutes
- Bring the water to the boil in a saucepan. Add the quinoa with a pinch of salt. Turn down the heat to a low simmer (about ‘2’ on most hobs).
- Put on the lid and cook for 15 minutes. It should soak up all of the water. Allow the quinoa to cool down and then fluff it with a fork.
- Using a large bowl(big enough to hold all of the quinoa and the vegetables) mix the vegetables with the lemon juice and parsley and add a little pepper.
- When the quinoa is at room temperature, stir it into the vegetables.
This is ready to eat but If you can leave it for a while before eating, the flavours will develop and it will taste even nicer.
