Healthy Quinoa Salad

Ingredients
1 cup Quinoa
½ cup Black Olives
8 Sundried Tomatoes (marinate those in olive oil)
1 Tomato (diced to very small cubes)
2 tablespoons of Fresh chopped Basil
2 Red Peppers (diced to very small cubes)
4 tablespoons Olive Oil
2 tablespoons Red Wine Vinegar
1 teaspoon crushed Garlic
2 tablespoons Lemon Juice
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
1/2 bunch Parsley (finely chopped)

Method
Cook the quinoa in a pot covered with two glasses of water and a little salt. Bring to a boil and simmer for 20 minutes. After cooking, place a towel between the lid and the pot for about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool down for about 15 min in a separate dish.

Pit the olives and chop roughly. Chop the dried tomatoes finely. Place all the ingredients in a large bowl and mix. season with salt and pepper (careful with the salt, the olives pretty much take care of that). Cool and serve cold.

Why do you put the towel between the lid and pot after it has cooked?
