Lemon Fruity Quinoa Salad

This salad is really easy to throw together. It’s never boring, as you can sub different herbs and fruit. It’s packed with lots of good-for-you nutrients and can be served warm or cold.

Directions

Prepare the Quinoa Salad

1. In a small pot, bring water to a boil. Add quinoa and reduce heat.

2. Simmer covered, 12–15 minutes or until water is absorbed.

3. Remove from heat. Fluff with a fork. Transfer to a large bowl.

Assemble the Salad

1. Add all remaining salad ingredients.

2. Whisk dressing ingredients together in a small bowl. Pour dressing over the salad and toss to coat. If necessary, adjust seasoning to taste.

3. Garnish with peanuts if desired; they add a nice crunch.

Correct amount? Are the amounts for the water and quinoa correct?
I know you should use about double the water to quinoa, but here is written:
one cup of water and one cup of quinoa
