Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Rinse the quinoa

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

2
Cook the quinoa

In a saucepan, combine rinsed quinoa and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover and simmer until water is absorbed and quinoa is tender, about 15 minutes. Let cool.

3
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.

4
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.

5
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.

6
Serve

Serve quinoa salad immediately or chill for 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Can be made ahead and refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
