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.
