Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 cup quinoa
- 2 cups water
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, diced
- 1 cucumber, diced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup red onion, finely 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.

- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
- Pour the dressing over the quinoa and vegetable mixture. Toss to combine and coat everything evenly.
- Serve the quinoa veggie bowl immediately, or refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
