How to Make It
Step 1
Bring water to boil in a large saucepan. Add 1 teaspoon salt and the quinoa. Cook until the quinoa is just tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain the quinoa.
Step 2
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, add shallot, lemon juice, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Let stand for 10 minutes.
Step 3
To the large bowl, add the drained quinoa, carrots, olive oil and parsley. Stir. Season to taste with salt. Serve.
Make Ahead
The salad can be prepared up to the parsley and refrigerated for two days. Add the parsley and more salt and lemon, if needed.
