-1/2 cup quinoa, soaked 2-4 hours and rinsed, if you have time. If not, just use it unsoaked.
-1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
-1/2 of an english cucumber, medium diced
-1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
-1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
-1/2 cup mint, chopped
-juice of 1 lemon
-1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
-3 tbsp hemp seeds (optional)
-sea salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
-After soaking and rinsing quinoa, cook per package instructions and let cool. Combine all of the ingredients in a large bowl, toss to combine and season to taste. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes. The longer you let it sit, the more the flavors will marry.
You can use ANY combination of herbs you like. Parsley and basil work wonderfully in this salad.
If you want to make it into an entree, you can add in diced chicken, or for a vegetarian option, some chick peas.
*Please use all organic ingredients when possible.
