Serves 6
| Quantity | Ingredient | Add |
|---|---|---|
| ½ c. quinoa OR 1 1/2 c. precooked quinoa | ||
| 1 bunch, clamshell or bag arugula | ||
| 1 bunch(es) green onions, chopped | ||

Directions
- Prior to cooking, rinse uncooked quinoa for 2 minutes in a strainer. This will get rid of the bitter taste. Put 1 cup water and uncooked quinoa in a medium saucepan. Bring it to a boil and then turn the heat down to low, letting it simmer for about 20 minutes. After cooking, take it off the burner and let it cool.
- While quinoa is cooking, chop arugula and green onions.
- Use a large bowl and add arugula, green onions, lemon juice and olive oil. Stir to mix together.
- After quinoa has cooled, add it to the mixture in the large bowl. Stir together.
- Cover mixture and chill for two hours in the refrigerator. This can also chill overnight and be served the next day.
- Before serving add salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy!
