Directions
-
To soak your grains before cooking, simply leave them covered in water 20 minutes or up to 8 hours before cooking. Rinse thoroughly.
-
Rinse the grain in a fine-mesh sieve until the water runs clear. Drain and transfer it to a medium pot.
-
Add water and sea salt and bring it to a boil, add any add-ins if using, and simmer until the water is absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes.
-
Set the pot aside off the heat for 5 minutes; uncover and fluff with a fork.
-
Drain and use quinoa warm, or let it cool and refrigerate it until cold depending on your preference.
-
To make the salad, combine all the ingredients thoroughly and serve immediately!
