Notes
You can make this salad ahead of time; keep the lemon juice separate until ready to serve. If you’re having trouble finding mixed coloured quinoa, buy white and black quinoa and mix it yourself. Remove the seeds of the cucumber with a teaspoon. You can use cherry tomatoes for this recipe if you can't find mixed heirloom cherry tomatoes.
