Easy Summer Salad

Cook quinoa per instructions on package (and put in fridge for at least 2 hours)

Removed chilled quinoa from fridge.

Add finely chopped cilantro.  Use as much as you like. If you dislike the taste of cilantro, you can substitute Italian style flat leaf parsley.

Add one large chopped tomato and one cucumber.

1/2 small red onion finely chopped.

Mix together.

Add the juice of one freshly squeezed large lemon.

Coat and mix with Farm Boy Lemon Garlic Dressing.

Super easy and tastes like summer in a bowl

Delicious.

Keeps for 3 days (just keep adding more freshly squeezed lemon juice).
