- 1 chopped sweet bell pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped cucumber
- 1/4 cup chopped tomatoes
- 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
Directions
- In a small pot heat 1 teaspoon olive oil and add quinoa. While stirring the quinoa constantly, let it fry for 2 -3 minutes to bring out its flavours. Add water and and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and let it cook for 10-15 minutes until tender. Cool.
