  1. 1

    Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine quinoa with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and let it cool to room temperature.

    โฑ๏ธ 20 min (ish)
    AI Wisdom: Quinoa should be fluffy and not mushy.
  2. 2

    In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, finely chopped red onion, and chopped fresh parsley.

    โฑ๏ธ 5 min (ish)
  3. 3

    In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Pour the dressing over the quinoa salad and toss gently to combine.

    โฑ๏ธ 3 min (ish)
    AI Wisdom: Adjust seasoning if needed.
  4. 4

    Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.

    โฑ๏ธ 30 min (ish)
