Instructions

  • Wash the quinoa really well, at least five to six times. Drain and set aside.
  • Bring the water to boil. Add the quinoa and cook on low flame, till all the water is absorbed and the quinoa looks plumped up. Allow to cool completely.
  • In a bowl, combine the ingredients from tomato to coriander. Add in the cooled quinoa and toss well.

Notes

It is best to prepare the quinoa well in advance and keep it in the fridge till it is time to prepare the salad.
