Rinse the quinoa
Rinse quinoa under cold water in a fine-mesh strainer.
Cook the quinoa

Chop the vegetables
Dice the zucchini and red bell pepper. Grate the carrot. Finely chop the red onion, parsley and mint. Add to a large bowl.
Make the dressing
Zest and juice the lemon. Mince the garlic. In a small bowl, whisk together lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, salt and pepper.
Assemble the salad
Add cooled quinoa to the bowl with chopped vegetables. Pour dressing over and toss well to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
