1 3/4 cups water
1 cup uncooked quinoa, rinsed
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup raisins
1/4 cup chopped cucumber
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

In a medium saucepan, combine water and quinoa. Bring to a boil and then cover, reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and fluff with a fork. Stir in parsley and remaining ingredients. Cover and let stand at least 1 hour for the flavors to absorb.
