- Cook the quinoa following the instructions on the pack. Drain and rinse with cold water. Allow to drain thoroughly.
- Blanch the edamame beans and frozen peas in boiling water for 2 minutes or until they are a little tender - don't let them get too soft. Drain them and rinse with cold water. Allow to drain thoroughly.
- Tip the spring onions, edamame beans, peas, mint, parsley and cucumber into the quinoa and mix well.
- Place the lemon juice and the cumin in a screw top jar and drizzle in some olive oil. Taste to check the seasoning and add more olive oil if the dressing is too lemony.
- Slowly add the dressing to the quinoa stirring well as you go. Taste as you go along - you may find that you don't need all of the dressing ... it depends how lemony you like your salads.
