Favorite Greens Quinoa Salad

INGREDIENTS

1 cup

uncooked quinoa (I used white), cooked according to package directions

1 cup

zucchini, diced

1 cup

cucumber, diced (I used English because they release less water but regular cucumbers can be used)

1/3 cup

green onions, diced finely (from 2 green onions using both green and white)

1/3 cup

chopped fresh basil leaves

1/3 cup

chopped fresh mint leaves

2 tbsp

olive oil (I used basil-infused olive oil for extra flavor)

2 tbsp

apple cider vinegar

2 tbsp

lemon juice (zest the lemon before juicing it)

2 tbsp

dijon mustard

2 tbsp

honey (use agave to keep vegan)

1 tsp

lemon zest, or to taste

1 tsp

salt, or to taste

1/2 tsp

black pepper, or to taste

cayenne pepper, optional but recommended
