Ingredients:
| 1 cup dry quinoa |
| 2 tablespoons fruity extra virgin olive oil |
| 4 tablespoons fresh lime juice |
| 2 fresh mint sprigs, leaves removed and chopped |
| 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves or parsley, chopped |
| Sea salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste |
| 1 handful sweet and ripe cherry or grape tomatoes, quartered |
| 2 tablespoons red onion, diced |
| 1 clove garlic, minced |
Directions:
- Cook the dry quinoa as you would raw rice: in 2 and 1/2 cups fresh salted water, bring to boil then simmer, cover and cook until water is absorbed and quinoa is translucent and fluffy (about 20 minutes).
- Scoop the cooked quinoa into a bowl and add the rest of the ingredients, tossing lightly with a fork until combined. Taste test and adjust seasonings.
- Cover and chill. The longer, the better. In fact, I think this salad tastes better the second day, so plan ahead and make it the day before.
