Fremgangsmåde

Trin for trin

1
Combine the quinoa and water in a small saucepan.
2
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed.
Ca. 15 min.
Kokkens note: Do not lift the lid during cooking to ensure even steaming.
3
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes.
Ca. 5 min.
Kokkens note: This allows the quinoa to fully steam and become fluffy.
4
Fluff the cooked quinoa with a fork and transfer it to a large bowl to cool completely.
5
While the quinoa cools, prepare the dressing by whisking together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl.
Ca. 5 min.
6
Once the quinoa is cool, add the cucumber, cherry tomato, red onion, feta cheese, fresh parsley, and fresh mint to the bowl.
7
Pour the prepared dressing over the salad ingredients.
8
Toss gently to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
Ca. 1 min.
9
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes for flavors to meld.
Kokkens note: Chilling improves the flavor and texture of the salad.
