- Mix really well until a thick paste-like sauce forms.
- Next, add the paste/sauce to the quinoa and massage generously with your hands or a spoon. I like to massage for 2-3 minutes to ensure every grain is fully coated to its full potential.
- Then, add the parsley. Mix and combine.
- When ready to serve, add the chopped tomatoes and cucumbers. Give a gentle toss.
- Serve cold or keep it in the fridge for up to 3 days.
