Directions
Step 1
Rinse the quinoa thoroughly under running water to remove any residue. Place it in a pot with water and cook over medium heat until the grains become tender and the water is fully absorbed. Allow it to rest for a few minutes, then fluff gently with a fork.
Step 2
While the quinoa cooks, wash the spinach and arugula carefully to remove any dirt. Drain well and set aside so the greens remain crisp and fresh.
Step 3
Dice the tomato into small pieces.
Step 4
Finely slice the onion.
Step 5
Combine them in a large mixing bowl.
Step 6
Add the cooked quinoa to the bowl along with the spinach and arugula. Toss gently to distribute the ingredients evenly without crushing the greens.
Step 7
Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the mixture, drizzle with oil, and season with salt and pepper. Mix lightly until everything is coated with the dressing.
Step 8
Let the salad sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to blend. Serve slightly warm or chilled, depending on your preference.
