Quinoa Salad Recipe

Pour quinoa into a fine mesh strainer or coffee filter and rinse well. Place in saucepan with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, until liquid is absorbed and grain appears translucent, about 15 minutes. Let cool.

Stir in beans, vegetables and parsley.

Drizzle salad with olive oil. Add juice from lemon and season with salt and pepper. Toss gently to mix and serve.

**NOTE: 1 cup of quinoa yields 4 cups cooked.
