Chef's tip
Season to taste - salt substitutes can taste bitter in larger amounts, so start with less.
¼ tsp black pepper
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
¼ cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
2 tbsp fresh chives, thinly sliced
1 tbsp fresh dill, finely chopped (optional)
1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, for finishing

Instructions

1
Place the quinoa in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse under cold running water for 30 seconds, stirring with your hand, until the water runs clear.
2
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat until shimmering. Add the rinsed quinoa and cook, stirring frequently, for 2–3 minutes, until the grains smell nutty and look lightly golden.
