1. 1

   Rinse the quinoa under cold water to remove any bitterness.

2. 2

   In a medium saucepan, combine the quinoa and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

   Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the quinoa is tender.

5. 5

   In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, chopped parsley, and chopped mint.

   In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil and lemon juice. Pour this dressing over the quinoa mixture.
