Preparation

In a saucepan heated on medium heat, add the quinoa and the olive oil then mix. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring.
Add the vegetable broth, salt and pepper and mix. Cover, bring to a boil and reduce to low heat. Simmer for about 10 minutes or until quinoa is al dente. Pour into strainer, rinse thoroughly with cold water and drain well.
In a large salad bowl, add the quinoa and the rest of the ingredients then season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss well and reserve in the fridge for 30 minutes before serving! Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
