Ingredients:

4 cups vegetable broth
1 1/2 cups raw whole grain quinoa
1 cucumber, sliced
1 red or yellow bell pepper, diced
1/2 cup lightly steamed broccoli florets
2 tomatoes, chopped
1/4 cup olive oil
1/3 cup lemon juice
dash salt and pepper, to taste (sea salt tastes best)

Preparation:

Cook quinoa in vegetable broth until it fluffs up, about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
