Quinoa

2 cups low-sodium chicken broth

1 ½ cups quinoa

Dressing

¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil

2 teaspoons grated lemon zest

¼ cup fresh lemon juice (from 1 large lemon)

¾ cup chopped fresh basil leaves

¼ cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves

1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme

½ teaspoon kosher salt

¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper


Quinoa In a medium saucepan, bring the chicken broth and quinoa to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat so that the broth simmers, cover the pan, and cook until all the liquid is absorbed, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer the quinoa to a large bowl.
Dressing Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, basil, parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper. Pour the dressing over the quinoa and toss until all of the quinoa is coated.
