How to Cook Quinoa - BONUS Salad

Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 1 part uncooked quinoa example: 1 cup dry quinoa
  • 2 parts water or broth example: 2 cups water/broth
  • sea salt to taste (around ¼ teaspoon salt per cup of dry quinoa)

Instructions

  • Place your dry/uncooked quinoa into a fine mesh strainer and rinse really well under running water for about 30 seconds or so.
  • Transfer your rinsed quinoa to a pot and add the water/broth, and sea salt.
  • Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
  • Simmer uncovered until your quinoa has absorbed all of the liquid, about 15 minutes.
  • Turn the heat off, cover the saucepan, remove from the heat, and allow your quinoa to steam/rest in the covered pot for 10 minutes.
  • Remove the lid and fluff your quinoa with a fork.
  • Add any additional items from my suggestions above to make your quinoa suited to your personal taste.
