How to Make Gluten Free Quinoa Salad
- Rinse 1 cup quinoa thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear.
- Combine the rinsed quinoa with 2 cups of water or vegetable broth in a medium saucepan.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed.
- Fluff the cooked quinoa with a fork and set aside to cool slightly.
- While the quinoa cooks, prepare the remaining ingredients: chop the cucumber, bell pepper, red onion, and fresh herbs.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, chopped cucumber (1/2 cup), bell pepper (1/2 cup), red onion (1/4 cup), cherry tomatoes (1 cup), black beans (1/2 cup), corn (1/2 cup), and chopped fresh herbs (1/4 cup).
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil (2 tablespoons), lime juice (2 tablespoons), salt (1/2 teaspoon), and pepper (1/4 teaspoon).
- Pour the dressing over the quinoa and vegetable mixture, and toss gently to combine.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more lime juice for extra tang or salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve chilled or at room temperature. Garnish with extra fresh herbs if desired.
