Hydrating Cucumber-Mint Quinoa Salad

Light, refreshing, and full of plant-powered energy. Cucumbers cool the body, mint awakens the senses, and quinoa gives steady fuel without feeling heavy.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup uncooked quinoa

1 cup water

1 lg cucumber diced ( de-seed if saving for later)

1/4 cup fresh mint leaves chopped

2 scallions sliced

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes cut in half

Juice of 1 lemon

2 tablespoons olive oil

salt/ pepper to taste

Instructions:

Rinse the quinoa well, then combine it with water in a small pot. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cover. Cook for about 15 minutes or until fluffy and the water is absorbed. Let it cool.

In a large bowl, combine the cooled quinoa, cucumber, mint, tomatoes, and green onions.

Drizzle with lemon juice and olive oil. Toss gently, then season to taste with salt and pepper.

Pro Tip: Add a handful of chopped parsley or a pinch of lemon zest for an extra burst of flavor and detox support.
