Course Salad

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 2 cups vegetable broth or preferred broth or water
  • 1 red bell pepper diced
  • 1 roma tomato diced
  • ½ finely diced cucumber
  • ¼ red onion finely diced
  • ¼ cup chopped cilantro
  • 1 lemon juiced add more if you like a more lemony flavor like me
  • A few tablespoons of olive or avocado oil
  • Dash of salt for flavor

Instructions
 

  • n a medium saucepan add quinoa and cook for a few min just to lightly toast the quinoa. Then add your broth and cover and cook until there is no more broth. If the quinoa needs more broth add a bit more. To know when it’s done cooking, it should be fluffy.
  • Pour cooked quinoa in a bowl and allow to cool for about 15 min.
  • Next add all the ingredients and mix well
  • Add more lemon and olive oil if it needs it. I love lots of lemons of I sometimes will do about 1 ½ lemons depending on how much juice I get out of it
