Directions
- To cook the quinoa: Combine the rinsed quinoa and the water in a medium saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then decrease the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook until the quinoa has absorbed all of the water. ***For a softer bean, boil them for a few minutes before adding to salad.
- In a large serving bowl, combine the beans, cucumber, tomatoes, bell peppers, onions, olives, radishes, chopped parsley, and optional ingredients.
- In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic and dried mint. Whisk until blended, then set aside.
- Once the quinoa is mostly cool, add it to the serving bowl, and drizzle the dressing on top.
- Refrigerate salad for about an hour before serving.
