Directions:
- Rinse quinoa well with warm water and drain. Quinoa has a natural coating called saponin that works to keep away insects and birds, but can have a bitter taste. Rinsing with warm water removes the saponin. Place rinsed quinoa (1 cup) with a pinch of salt in a pot with 1 3/4 cups water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer 15-20 minutes, until the water is absorbed. Fluff with fork before serving. To make salad mix first 7 ingredients together in a large bowl. Mix dressing ingredients together in a small bowl and toss with salad. Place lettuce leaf on each of six plates and top with a mound of quinoa salad.
