Helpful Tips
*To remove the seeds from a cucumber, slice it in half lengthwise. Run a teaspoon down the middle of the cucumber to remove the seeds.
**To cook quinoa, bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a boil in a medium saucepan. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1 cup quinoa, rinsed and drained. Lower heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and use a fork to fluff. Allow quinoa to cool
