- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions
- Rinse the quinoa under cold water using a fine-mesh strainer.
- In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the rinsed quinoa and reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and let it cool to room temperature.

- In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Pour the dressing over the quinoa mixture and toss gently to combine.
