Steps:
- Rinse quinoa well before cooking. Prepare quinoa according to package directions.
- Meanwhile, combine onion and oil in a medium nonstick skillet.
- Cook over medium-high heat until onion is browned, about 15 minutes, stirring frequently. (If onion starts to burn, reduce heat.)
- Set aside.
- Rinse quinoa with cold water until cool; drain.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine quinoa, onion, and remaining ingredients (except tomato).
- Mix well.
- Stir in tomato.
- Serve at room temperature.
- HELPFUL HINT: Quinoa must be rinsed well before cooking to remove a natural bitter tasting but harmless coating. (The coating naturally protects quinoa from birds and insects.).
- All ingredients except tomato can be prepared, combined, and chilled up to one day ahead. Add a small amount of broth if mixture seems dry, then stir in tomato.
