"The colorful quinoa salad with vegetables is a balanced and nutritious cold dish, which combines steamed and loose quinoa grains with the crunch of red bell pepper, grated carrot, and fresh cucumber cubes. The preparation values the freshness of the raw vegetables in contrast with the soft grain. The seasoning is made with a simple emulsion of extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, sea salt, ground black pepper, and finely chopped parsley. Served cold or at room temperature, it works perfectly as a light summer meal or a practical side dish for everyday life."
- Wash the quinoa in abundant running water inside a fine sieve to eliminate the natural saponin that gives a bitter taste. - Cook with the pot covered for 15 minutes and keep resting turned off for 5 minutes before fluffing the grains with a fork. - Let the quinoa warm up before mixing the fresh vegetables to preserve the crunch and freshness of the cucumber and carrot.
Start by washing the quinoa under running water to remove the bitterness.
In a pot, place the quinoa and water, bring to a high heat until it starts to boil.
Reduce heat, cover, and cook for about 15 minutes, or until the water evaporates.
Turn off the heat and leave the pot covered for another 5 minutes for fluff.
Enquanto isso, prepare os legumes: pique o pimentão, rale a cenoura e corte o pepino.
Transfer the cooked quinoa to a large bowl and let it cool for a few minutes.
Add the chopped vegetables to the bowl with the quinoa while still warm.
Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice, season with salt and pepper to taste.
Mix everything delicately to incorporate the flavors.

Store the seasoned salad in a closed glass jar in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The cucumber will release light liquid over time; Just drain before serving or gently shake the jar.
Não é recomendado congelar a salada pronta com legumes crus, pois o pepino e o pimentão murcham e soltam água ao descongelar. Apenas a quinoa cozida pura pode ser congelada em porções por até 90 dias a 18°C negativos.
Serve accompanying grilled fish fillets, herb-roasted chicken breast, lentil veggie burgers, or as a refreshing filling for whole-wheat wraps.
Quinoa grains are naturally coated with saponin, a bitter and hard-to-digest resinous substance. Quick washing under running water in a fine sieve removes this compound.
The ratio is 2 parts water to 1 part quinoa. Cook over low heat covered for 15 minutes until the water dries, turn off and let rest 5 minutes covered before fluffing with a fork.
Olive oil and lemon can be added to warm quinoa to penetrate the grain, but fresh raw vegetables (cucumber and bell pepper) should only enter when the base is warm to cold so they don't wilt.
Remove the core with seeds from the cucumber before chopping and drain the quinoa very well after cooking. Dry the sanitized vegetables with paper towels before incorporating.
