fresh and springy quinoa salad

what you need (for a mid-sized bowl):

• 200g quinoa
• 1 cucumber
• 1 bell pepper
• 2 tomatoes
• about 200g (sweet) corn
• lemon(juice)
• tomato paste
• spring onions, parsley and chives
• pepper, paprika powder
• I also added chilli, but that's just me

what you do:

• cook quinoa according to packaging
• in the meantime, chop up the veggies
• when the quinoa is done, let it cool down a little
• mix it together with the chopped up veggies and add the corn
• add the juice of two or three lemon slices and quite a bit of tomato paste
• last but not least, go nuts with the spices, I mean it! the quinoa itself isn't exactly a firework of flavours, so you really need to add a lot of spices and herbs
• blend it all together and if you have the time, let it sit for an hour or two
• I topped mine of with some extra parsley and chives
• eeeeenjoy!
