Directions

Cook quinoa: After rinsing the quinoa add it and the water to a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then turn down the heat to a simmer. Cook, uncovered, until the quinoa has absorbed all of the water, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat, cover, and let the quinoa rest for 5 minutes, to give it time to fluff up
In a large serving bowl, combine the cucumber, bell pepper, onion and parsley. Set aside
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, garlic and salt. Whisk until blended, then set aside
Once the quinoa is mostly cool, add it to the serving bowl, and drizzle the dressing on top. Toss until the mixture is thoroughly combined. Season with black pepper, to taste, and add an extra pinch of salt if necessary. For best flavor, let the salad rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving
This salad keeps well in the refrigerator, covered, for about 4 days. Serve chilled or at room temperature
