Quinoa Crab Salad

Ingredients:

• 1 cup quinoa
• 2 cups water
• 12 ounces lump crab meat
• 6 cups mâche salad mix
• 1 cup grated carrot
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 cup peeled, diced cucumber
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• Sea salt
• Freshly ground black pepper

Method:

1. In a medium saucepan, bring the quinoa and water to a boil over high heat. Cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer until the quinoa is tender, about 15minutes. Drain well; quinoa holds a lot of water, so drain it thoroughly.
2. Place the quinoa in a large bowl and let cool. When room temperature, add the lettuce, vegetables, and lemon juice, and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add the crab salad to top and season with salt and pepper to taste.
