Ingredients 

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup Quinoa
  • 2 cups Water
  • 1 Red Bell Pepper, diced
  • 1 Zucchini, sliced
  • 1 Red Onion, sliced
  • 2 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • ½ teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
  • ¼ cup Chopped Fresh Parsley

Instructions 

  1. 1. Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the quinoa, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside to cool.
  2. 2. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Toss the bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill the vegetables for about 5-7 minutes on each side until tender and slightly charred. Remove from the grill and let cool, then chop into bite-sized pieces.
  3. 3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, grilled vegetables, remaining olive oil, lemon juice, and chopped parsley. Toss to combine. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
  4. 4. Serve the salad at room temperature or chilled. Enjoy!
