Ingredients

12 cups water
1 1/2 cups quinoa, rinsed
5 pickling cucumbers, peeled, ends trimmed and cut into 1/4" cubes
1 small red onion, cut into 1/4" cubes
1 medium tomato, cored, seeded and diced
1 bunch (1/2 cup) Italian parsley leaves, chopped

1/4 cup red wine vinegar
juice of 1 lemon

Strain and rinse well with cold water, shaking the sieve well to remove all moisture. 2. When dry, transfer the quinoa to a large bowl. Add the cucumbers, onion, tomato, parsley, cilantro, olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, salt and pepper and toss well. 3. Top each romaine leaf with about 3/4 cup of the salad and serve on chilled plates.
