- 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

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.
