Refreshing Quinoa Salad with Peas and Mint – A Healthy and Flavorful Delight

Rinse quinoa under cold water until water runs clear, then drain.

In a medium saucepan, combine quinoa and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until quinoa is fluffy.

Once cooked, remove from heat and let it cool.

In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa with green peas, mint, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and red onion.

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.

Pour the dressing over the quinoa salad and toss gently.

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
