Preparation

Step 1

Pile the quinoa in a large bowl and allow to cool almost to room temperature. If you put the fresh veggies into hot quinoa they will partially cook and you will loose some of the crunch that makes this salad memorable.
Add all the chopped vegetables and herbs and toss to mix.
Mix the lemon juice and olive oil in a cup then sprinkle the mixture over the salad.
Toss to coat all of the vegetables and the quinoa.
Salt to taste.
