Vegan Quinoa Salad

Step 1

Rinse the quinoa in a fine mesh strainer under cold water. Drain.

Step 2

Place the quinoa and water in a small pot on the stove. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes or until the quinoa is tender and the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.

Step 3

Take the quinoa off of the heat, add the peas, and replace the cover to steam the peas.

Step 4

Add the diced cucumber, halved green grapes, diced celery, and sliced green onions to a large mixing bowl. Set aside.

Step 5

In a small bowl or jar, whisk the chopped dill, lime zest, lime juice, apple cider vinegar, oil, salt, and pepper.

Step 6

Add the quinoa to the bowl of vegetables & grapes. Drizzle as much or as little of the dressing onto the salad as you like. Taste and adjust seasonings as necessary.

Step 7

Serve immediately or store tightly covered in the fridge until ready to serve.
