Ingredients
3 cups frozen pre-cooked organic quinoa

1 large bunch fresh flat leaf organic parsley, minced
1 large bunch organic fresh mint, minced
1 large organic cucumber, peeled and cubed

Directions
1Reheat quinoa according to package directions and set aside in a large bowl to cool.
2Meanwhile, whisk together the lemon juice, minced garlic, and salt in a small mixing bowl.
3Slowly whisk in the olive oil, then drizzle over the quinoa and mix in with a fork.
4In a medium bowl, combine the parsley, mint, cucumber, tomatoes, and scallions, then mix into the quinoa.
