Cucumber & Onion Quinoa Salad

1-1/2 c. dry quinoa, rinsed and drained

2-1/4 c. water

1/3 c. white wine vinegar

2 T. extra-virgin olive oil

1 T. chopped fresh dill

1-1/2 t. sugar

2 pinches salt

1/4 t. freshly ground black pepper

2 c. sliced sweet onions

2 c. diced cucumber

4 c. shredded lettuce

In a medium pot, combine quinoa and water. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, until water is absorbed. Remove from the stove and let stand 5 minutes. Fluff quinoa with a fork and set aside.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix vinegar, olive oil, dill, sugar, salt, and pepper. Set aside.

In a large bowl, gently mix together onions, cucumber, and lettuce. Fold in quinoa and dressing. Serve immediately or chill and serve soon.

Makes 4 servings.
