Ingredients
1 cup quinoa, rinsed and drained
2 cups vegetable broth or water
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cucumber, diced
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
Combine quinoa and 2 cups water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, stir, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 7 minutes. Shut off heat and let rest until water is absorbed, about 5 minutes longer. Transfer quinoa to a fine mesh strainer and rinse under cold water until thoroughly chilled. Let drain for 10 minutes.
