Step 1: Cooking the Quinoa
In a saucepan, combine the quinoa and water. Bring it to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and

Step 3: Mixing the Ingredients
Add the cooked quinoa to the bowl of vegetables. Drizzle olive oil and squeeze the lemon juice over the mixture.
Season with salt and pepper according to your taste. Toss everything together until well combined.
Step 4: Letting the Flavors Combine
For the best results, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the Quinoa Tabulé for at least 30 minutes.
