Directions
Rinse the quinoa in a fine sieve to remove some of the bitterness. Simmer in a saucepan with double the volume of water to grain. Cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. You’ll know it’s cooked when the grain separates a little from the seed – it should still have a slight bite to it.
While the quinoa is cooking, prepare your other ingredients. Mix together the vinegar, olive oil, salt and pepper for the dressing and set aside.
When the quinoa is cooked, allow it to cool before combining with the other ingredients and tossing with the dressing until evenly mixed.
Serve with a wedge of lime to squeeze over, and some extra mint to sprinkle if you wish.
Recipe Note
Also delicious topped with toasted seeds or served with grilled halloumi or crumbled medita (like feta!).
