Ingredients
- 1 cup quinoa (I've used tri-color quinoa)
- 2 cups water
Instructions
- Rinse the quinoa for a few minutes in a fine colander under running water to wash the outside coating
- Once washed, add to a pot and cover with 2 cups of water
- Cook on medium heat with the lid off for approximately 15 minutes until the water is absorbed. The quinoa will become soft and translucent
- Once the water has all been absorbed, turn the heat off and place the lid on the pot. Let it stand covered for 5 minutes
- Remove the lid and fluff the quinoa with a fork which will help all the grains separate and create a light texture
- Let it cool and add to your favourite salad or dish!
