Author:
Recipe type: Salad
Ingredients
  • 1½ Cups cooked quinoa - Costco has a great deal on organic quinoa. You can also buy it in bulk at places like Winco.
  • ½ Cup pine nuts
  • 1 english cucumber, peeled and finely diced
  • 1 Cup grape tomotoes
  • ½ Cup red onion, finely, finely diced
  • ½ Cup chopped parsley
  • ¼ Cup olive oil
  • 3 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice (I recommend using fresh lemons)
  • 2 tsp grated lemon zest
Instructions
  1. Cook quinoa according to directions on package. I recommend cooking your quinoa in the rice cooker, that’s how I do it and I find it so much less painful than the stove top method.
  2. Toast pine nuts on medium-high heat. Don’t let them burn, just brown them.
  3. Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice and lemon zest in a small bowl.
  4. After quinoa has cooled, mix quinoa with the cucumber, onion and parsley. Stir in the dressing. Top with pine nuts. Add salt and pepper to taste.
