Steps:
- First rinse and drain the Quinoa till the water runs clear to prevent a bitter taste in the finished product.
- Place the Quinoa in a medium sauce pot with the 2 cups or chicken stock, water or vegetable stock can be uses as well to make this vegetarian.
- Bring the Quinoa to a boil and then reduce to a simmer with the lid on.
- Simmer for around 20 minutes until the Quinoa germ is visible, The grain will be slightly chewy but not overly so. Time could vary depending on your stove and your brand of Quinoa some take less time while others take more. The water will be mostly if not completely absorbed when the Quinoa is done.
- Set the Quinoa aside when it's done to let it cool. Seed and then chop the cucumber and chop some tomato as well to garnish.
- Once the Quinoa is cooled add the cucumber as well as the olive oil. Use a zester to zest the lemon and then juice the lemon. Depending on the size of the lemon you may only need half the lemon.
- Add the salt and pepper to taste and mix the Quinoa together. Serve chilled with a garnish of tomato.
- It's not listed in the recipe but you may toast some pine nuts and add them as well. I omit them from this recipe because I'm allergic but my mother likes them in it.

- If your quinoa is not already pre-rinsed (it should say on the package), rinse it well using a super fine mesh strainer. Set strainer over a bowl to finish draining.
- Heat olive oil in a medium sized pot over medium heat. When oil is hot, add rinsed and drained quinoa and cook, stirring frequently, until quinoa is dry and smells a little toasty. Add broth or water along with 1/2 teaspoon sea salt and stir well. Bring to a simmer, stir one more time, and cover. Reduce heat to low and and cook for 25 minutes.
- After 25 minutes, remove pot from the heat and take off the lid. Allow steam and heat to release for about 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork. Set aside to cool. To cool it faster – transfer to a shallow bowl or glass dish (so the quinoa can spread out a bit) and stir every 5 minutes or so while it cools.
- While the quinoa is cooking, prep the parsley, cucumber, tomatoes, and green onions. Set these ingredients aside until you’re ready to assemble the salad.

- To cook quinoa: In a medium saucepan, bring 1 ½ cups of water to a boil. Add in quinoa and bring mixture to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low and let simmer for 15 minutes or until quinoa has absorbed all of the water. Remove from heat and fluff quinoa with fork; place in large bowl and set aside to cool for about 10 minutes. You should have a little over 2 cups of quinoa.
- To make dressing: Add peanut butter and honey or agave to a medium microwave safe bowl; heat in microwave for 20 seconds. Add in ginger, soy sauce, vinegar, and both sesame and olive oil and stir until mixture is smooth and creamy. If you want a thinner dressing, simply stir in a teaspoon or two of water or olive oil.
- Add as much or as little dressing as you’d like to the quinoa. I always start out with a little bit of dressing and usually add more to suit my taste preferences. Alternatively you can save the dressing for later and add when you are ready to eat; however the flavors of the dressing usually soak into the salad so I love adding it to the quinoa first.
- Next fold in red pepper, onion, cabbage, carrots, and cilantro into the quinoa. Garnish with cashews and green onions. Serve chilled or at room temperature with lime wedges, if desired.
