How do I make my own quinoa salad?
assistant
To make your own quinoa salad, you'll need cooked quinoa, diced vegetables of your choice (such as bell peppers, celery, carrots, and cucumber), chopped nuts or seeds, and a flavorful dressing. Start by boiling 1 cup of water in a medium saucepan over high heat. Once the water is boiling, add in 1 cup of quinoa, stir it once, then reduce the heat to low and cover with a lid. Allow the quinoa to simmer for about 15 minutes until all the water has been absorbed. Once done, fluff the quinoa with a fork and let cool. Next, prepare your desired vegetables and add them to the cooled quinoa. Lastly, top off your quinoa salad with your favorite nuts and seeds, along with your favorite dressing. Enjoy!
