Instructions
Rinse the quinoa in a fine mesh strainer under cold water.
In a saucepan over high heat, bring the water and stock to a boil. Add quinoa and reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer until grains are tender and liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Set aside and allow to cool.
Transfer quinoa to a large bowl and add all other ingredients. Toss to mix and season with salt and pepper. Serve warm or room temperature. Store in the refrigerator.
