Quinoa en Salpicon

Make vinaigrette by whisking together lime juice, pepper, jalapeño, salt and olive oil. Set aside. In a large pot, combine 1 quart water and quinoa. Bring to a boil, lower heat and simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes, until quinoa is barely tender. Do not overcook. Strain, drain thoroughly and let cool. Do not rinse. Toss with cucumber, tomato, green onions, parsley, mint and vinaigrette. Add salt and pepper to taste. Best served at room temperature. Leftovers will keep for a day or so in the refrigerator. Return to room temperature before serving and add splash of fresh lime juice.
