Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 cups quinoa
5 pickling cucumbers, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch dice
1 small red onion, cut into 1/4-inch dice
1 bunch Italian parsley, leaves only, chopped
2 bunches mint, leaves only, chopped
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
Juice of 1 lemon
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
6 romaine lettuce leaves
1 avocado, peeled, seeded and sliced, for garnish

Steps:

  • Bring 3 quarts of water to a boil in a large saucepan. Add the quinoa, stir once and return to a boil. Cook, uncovered, over moderate heat 10 minutes. Strain and rinse well with cold water. Shake the sieve well to remove all moisture.
