Ingredients
- 1 cup quinoa
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 tsp. sea salt
- 1 cup parsley leaves
- 1 cup plum tomatoes
- 1 clove garlic
- 1⁄4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 Tbsp. lemon juice
Directions
- In a heavy saucepan, combine quinoa, broth, and 1⁄2 teaspoon salt; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until all water is absorbed, about 15 to 20 minutes. When quinoa is done, spoon into a large bowl and allow to cool.
- While the grain is cooling, mince parsley; set aside. Halve tomatoes lengthwise; scoop out and discard seeds. Chop tomatoes into small pieces; add to parsley. Press and mince garlic; whisk it together in a small bowl with oil, lemon juice, and remaining salt.
- Add parsley and tomatoes to quinoa; toss well. Add lemon dressing; mix well to combine all ingredients.
