Herbed Spring Quinoa Salad

Herbed Spring Quinoa Salad {in a jar}

serves 4 – 6

ingredients:

• 1/2 cup quinoa
• 2 organic tomatoes, diced
• 1 medium cucumber, diced
• 1 bunch flat leaf parsley, finely chopped
• Juice of 1 lime
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/8 teaspoon spearmint extract (or 2 tablespoons fresh mint, finely chopped)
• Salt & pepper to taste

Place the quinoa with 1 cup water in a small pot on the stove to boil. Once boiling, turn the heat down to low, cover and let the quinoa simmer for 8 – 10 minutes. When all the water has been absorbed, turn the heat off and keep covered for another 5 minutes. Fluff the quinoa with a fork and let it cool for another 15 minutes.
Add the cooled quinoa to a large mixing bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and toss to coat.
