Rinse the quinoa in plenty of water and boil for 12 minutes, then drain once the grains open.
Spread the drained quinoa on a wide tray and cool for 8 minutes.
Chop the tomato, cucumber, scallions, parsley, and mint small.
Whisk the lemon juice, olive oil, and salt for 30 seconds.
Toss the quinoa and vegetables with the dressing, then transfer to a plate without crushing the grains.
💡 Tip: Rinse the quinoa in a sieve before cooking, so its natural bitterness softens.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve cold as a lunch salad.
