What to do:
- Bring quinoa and water to a boil. Turn to low and simmer until all the liquid is absorbed. Immediately put onto a cookie tray to cool down in the fridge to stop the cooking process.
- In a food processor, put vinegar, juice, onion, garlic, salt and pepper, and blend all together.
- Slowly add the oil to emulsify into a smooth dressing.
- Dice onion and cucumber, and finely chop the garlic.
- Chop the cilantro.
- Once the quinoa is cooled, in a large bowl combine the quinoa and the chopped veggies.
- Slowly pour in the dressing and mix until desired amount. (Extra dressing can be used later for another salad!)
- Tate and adjust with more dressing, salt, and pepper. (Can also add fruit zest if desired)
- Place into a serving dish and garnish with chopped cilantro.
- Can be prepared the day before if desired.
