Nutty, quick-cooking quinoa is a wonderful grain to use in this salad, but you could also use 3 1/2 cups of another cooked grain; barley, wheat berries or bulgur would work well. Watch our how-to video.

Ingredients
Method
Combine quinoa and 2 1/4 cups water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil.
Lower heat, cover the pan and simmer until quinoa is tender and a white "tail" appears around each grain, about 15 minutes.
Remove from heat and let sit, covered, 5 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl and cool.
In a large bowl, whisk together lemon juice, lime juice, honey, garlic, salt and pepper.
Add quinoa, cucumber, onion and mint, and toss to combine.
