Instructions

This cool and refreshing salad is just the thing for lunch under the summer sun. Pack it for a picnic or enjoy its crunchy goodness from the comfort of the great (air-conditioned) indoors.

1. To cook the mung beans, add 1 cup dry beans and 3 cups water to a medium pot and bring to a boil. Let simmer until the beans are tender and the water is absorbed, about 30 minutes.

2. At the same time, add 1 cup quinoa and 2 cups water to a small pot and bring to a boil. Let simmer until the quinoa is fluffy and the water is absorbed, about 20 minutes.

3. Remove both pots from the heat and let the contents cool.

4. Prepare the salad ingredients by chopping them into small pieces. Add all the ingredients to a large bowl, add one cup each of the mung beans and quinoa. Toss with the olive oil, red wine vinegar and salt, to taste.
