  • 15 min
  • Medium-high

To cook the quinoa: Combine the rinsed 1 taza de quinua cruda and the 2 tazas de agua in a medium saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then decrease the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook, uncovered, until the quinoa has absorbed all of the tazas de agua, about 15 minutes, reducing heat as time goes on to maintain a gentle simmer. Remove from heat, cover, and let the 1 taza de quinua cruda rest for 5 minutes, to give it time to fluff up.

Uses

  • Saucepan
  • Quinoa

In a large serving mixing bowl, combine the 1 lata (15 onzas) de garbanzos, 1 pepino mediano, 1 pimiento rojo mediano, ¾ taza de cebolla roja picada and 1 taza de perejil de hoja plana finamente picado. Set aside.

In a mixing bowl, combine the ¼ taza de aceite de oliva, ¼ taza de jugo de limón, 1 cucharada de vinagre de vino tinto, 2 dientes de ajo and ½ cucharadita de sal marina fina. Whisk until blended, then set aside.

  • 5–10 min

Once the quinoa is mostly cool, add it to the serving mixing bowl, and drizzle the dressing on top. Toss until the mixture is thoroughly combined. Season with Pimienta negra molida fresca, to taste, and add an extra pinch of cucharadita de sal marina fina if necessary. For best flavor, let the salad rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

Uses

  • Quinoa
