Instructions
  1. Cook quinoa according to package directions on stove top with 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Once cooked, remove from heat and let stand, covered, for at least 5 minutes.
  2. While quinoa is cooking, whisk garlic and lemon juice in a small bowl. Gradually whisk in olive oil. Season dressing to taste with salt and pepper.
  3. Combine cucumber, tomatoes, scallions, parsley, mint and quinoa in a large bowl. Pour dressing over the ingredients and toss to combine. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Recipe Notes

This can be made 1 day ahead. Store dressing and quinoa/veggie/herb mix separately in covered containers. Add dressing to quinoa mixture when ready to serve.

For more flavor, cook quinoa in chicken or vegetable stock instead of water.

Variations: Add in feta, kalamata olives or avocado. Add in additional veggies of your choice. Serve with, or toss in, chicken or shrimp for a complete meal.
