Shaun T's Quinoa Salad

•  1/2 cup quinoa
• 2 cups water or broth (chicken or vegetable)
• 1 tsp. turmeric
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 lemon wedge
• 1 lime wedge
• 1/4 cup sliced cucumber
• 1 Tbsp. diced onion
• 1 tsp. grated raw ginger
• 1 Tbsp. julienned mint
• 1 Tbsp. chopped pistachio nuts
• 1/2 cup chopped romaine lettuce

**I also added some curry powder**




Combine quinoa, water or broth, salt, and turmeric in a medium saucepan. Cover and cook over medium heat until about half the liquid is absorbed and quinoa begins to soften, about 15 minutes. Strain quinoa in a mesh strainer, then place in a bowl. Squeeze lemon and lime over quinoa and place in refrigerator to cool. When cool, toss with remaining ingredients. Makes 1 serving.
Preparation Time: 40 minutes
