The Best Recipe For Quinoa Salad
- Making quinoa salad at camp

  • Place the quinoa in the strainer, rinse it well under running water, and drain.
  • Measure 3 cups/750 mL broth into the saucepan and bring it to a boil. 
  • Add the quinoa, stir, and reduce heat to low.
  • Cover and simmer for about 20 minutes or until the liquid has been absorbed.
  • Fluff the quinoa with a fork and transfer it to the large bowl. Let it cool slightly while you prepare the vegetables.
  • Cut each of the grape tomatoes in half.
  • Seed and chop the bell pepper.
  • Chop the cucumber. (If it's a large one, you may want to use just half.)
  • Chop some parsley. You'll need a small handful.
  • In a mug, mix 1/4 cup/60 mL olive oil, 3 Tbsp/45 mL cider vinegar, and 1 clove garlic, minced.
  • Add the vegetables to the quinoa, tossing gently as you add each.
  • Drizzle the oil and vinegar dressing over the salad. Toss to combine.
  • Season to taste with salt, if desired.
