How to Make Quinoa Tomato Salad
- Cook 1 cup quinoa in 2 cups vegetable stock for 10-15 minutes, or until tender. (Note: Quinoa may absorb all liquid or some may remain, depending on the type of quinoa used.)
- Pour the cooked quinoa into a fine-mesh sieve and let it cool completely to room temperature.
- While the quinoa cools, finely chop 1/2 medium red onion. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar. Let stand for 10 minutes to soften.
- Add 2 tablespoons olive oil to the softened onion mixture.
- Add the cooled quinoa to the onion and vinegar mixture.
- Chop 2 cups of tomatoes (large or 1 pint halved cocktail tomatoes) and add to the quinoa mixture.
- Season generously with freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Gently mix all ingredients. Serve at room temperature or chilled. Enjoy!
