Preparation

Step 1

Combine quinoa and water in a saucepan. Cover and bring to a boil, then turn down heat and allow to simmer until all water is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat, spoon quinoa into a bowl and refrigerate until fully chilled.

Once chilled, fluff quinoa using a fork. Add spices to quinoa and stir to fully combine.

Add remaining ingredients to a bowl and combine. Add quinoa and stir to fully combine. Serve cold as a side salad or main dish.
