Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups quinoa rinsed
  • 3 1/2 cups Water
  • 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh mint
  • 1/3 cup pine nuts toasted

Instructions
 

  • Combine the quinoa, water, olive oil, and lemon juice in the inner pot.
  • Lock the lid into place. Select Pressure Cook or Manual; set the pressure to High and the time to 20 minutes. Make sure the steam release knob is in the sealed position. After cooking, quick release the pressure.
  • Unlock and remove the lid. Using a fork, fluff the quinoa, then stir in the cucumber, tomatoes, scallions, parsley, mint, and pine nuts.

Notes

MEAL PREP TIP: The sky’s the limit for other items to include in this salad. I like shredded chicken, sliced avocado, dried cranberries, raisins, chopped pistachios, or Parmesan cheese.
