- 1 cup quinoa
- 2 cups water
- 3 bunches Italian parsley finely chopped (about 2.5 cups)
- 1 bunch mint finely chopped (about 1/2 cup)
- 4 roma tomatoes finely chopped
- 1/3 cup lemon juice fresh
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Rinse the quinoa in a colander under running water for one minute. Add the rinsed quinoa to a pot with 2 cups of water. Bring the contents to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and cook for 15 minutes. Once cooked, fluff the quinoa with a fork and set aside to cool completely.
Add the chopped parsley, mint, tomatoes, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper, and the cooked quinoa into a large mixing bowl and mix to combine.
Serve at room temperature or chilled from the fridge. Be sure to eat this within 2 days of making it. Enjoy!
