How to cook quinoa for salads
Begin by rinsing the quinoa well in a fine-mesh strainer. Next, combine 2 cups of water with each cup of quinoa in a pot, bringing the mixture to a boil. Afterward, lower the heat, cover, and allow it to simmer for approximately 15 minutes or until the water is fully absorbed. Finally, remove it from the heat, fluff it with a fork, and chill until ready to use in your salads.
