Quinoa
- 1 cup quinoa
- pinch of sea salt
- 1/2 tbsp olive oil
Veggies
- 1 English cucumber diced small, seeds removed
- 1 cup red cherry tomatoes diced small
- 1 cup orange cherry tomatoes diced small
- 1 bunch flat leaf parsley finely chopped
- 1/2 cup mint leaves finely chopped
Dressing
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1 lemon juiced
- salt and pepper to taste

Cook quinoa according to package instructions. I cook my quinoa in water but feel free to cook in broth. Drain and set aside
Meanwhile chop the veggies really small and add to a large bowl
Whisk the dressing and transfer to a jar with lid
When it's time to build the salad, add quinoa to the veggie bowl and mix well. Shake dressing in jar then toss in the salad, folding until well incorporated
