I love fresh mint from my garden in just about everything. Check this out!
- 1 1/4 cup quinoa, rinsed well
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 large (1-pound) English cucumber, diced
- 1/2 medium red onion, diced
- 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
Combine quinoa and 2 1/4 cups water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Lower heat, cover the pan and simmer until quinoa is tender and a white "tail" appears around each grain, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit, covered, 5 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl and cool.
In a large bowl, whisk together lemon juice, lime juice, honey, garlic, salt and pepper. Add quinoa, cucumber, onion and mint, and toss to combine.
