Minty Cucumber-Quinoa Salad

Serves 6
Time 35 min
Nutty, quick-cooking quinoa is a wonderful grain to use in this salad, but you could also use 3 1/2 cups of another cooked grain; barley, wheat berries or bulgur would work well. Watch our how-to video.
Ingredients
  • 1 1/4 cup quinoa, rinsed well
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 large (1-pound) English cucumber, diced
  • 1/2 medium red onion, diced
  • 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped

Method

Combine quinoa and 2 1/4 cups water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. 

Lower heat, cover the pan and simmer until quinoa is tender and a white "tail" appears around each grain, about 15 minutes. 

Remove from heat and let sit, covered, 5 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl and cool.

In a large bowl, whisk together lemon juice, lime juice, honey, garlic, salt and pepper. 

Add quinoa, cucumber, onion and mint, and toss to combine.
