Shungiku microgreens work best as a fresh finishing ingredient, adding color, texture, and a just-cut flavor that stands out right before serving.
1 cup quinoa, rinsed
2 cups water
1 cup shungiku microgreens
1 cucumber, diced
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
In a saucepan, bring water to a boil and add the rinsed quinoa. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until water is absorbed.
Remove quinoa from heat and let cool for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
In a large bowl, combine the cooled quinoa, diced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and red onion.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil and lemon juice, then pour over the salad mixture.
Finally, gently fold in the shungiku microgreens, and season with salt and pepper to taste before serving.
