Separate the greens and main ingredients so the bowl does not become crowded during dressing.
Boil the quinoa for 12 minutes and cool it.
Add the edamame and chopped cucumber to the quinoa.
Mix with lemon juice and serve with sesame.
Rest for 5 minutes before serving so the dressing works into the grains, then plate.
Transfer the mixture to a wide plate and do not press from the top so the greens are not crushed.
💡 Tip: Cooling the quinoa completely keeps the salad grains separate.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve cool with sesame sprinkled over the top.
