Ingredients

• 1 cup quinoa
• 2 cups vegetable stock or water
• 1/2 cup (I use a whole) English or hothouse cucumber, dices
• 1/2 cup tomato, diced
• 2 tablespoons red onion, dices
• 2 green onions, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
• 1 teaspoon chopped jalapeno
• 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Preparation

Step 1

Combine the quinoa and stock or water in a small pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cover. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes or until liquid is completely absorbed. Let cool completely.

In a large bowl, combine the quinoa with remaining ingredients. Toss to mix thoroughly. Serve chilled.
