Extremely easy recipe, and a good substitute for burgul, or, as Americans call it, "bulgur". True, not the traditional main ingredient, so probably not for purists; but very tasty nevertheless. Simply mix the following ingredients:
2 cups cooked quinoa
1 fresh cucumber, chopped into teeny-tiny pieces
3 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1 tbsp chopped cilantro
juice from 1 lemon
optional:
1/2 chopped tomato
1 tbsp chopped onion
1 tbsp pumpkin seeds and/or pine nuts
Then, put salad in fridge and let marinate for a while.

thanks for the idea - this made a great lunch today, and a great use for leftover quinoa and lentils.
i added radish, red pepper, and french lentils.
Neat, Chanie!
Lentils and quinoa go really, really well together, and in fact can constitute a great mejeddera (traditional rice/wheat with lentils dish, with fried onions).
