Preparation
  1. In Multipurpose Steamer, combine quinoa, water, and 1 tsp seasoning. Cover and microwave on high 12 min, or until tender.
  2. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk oil with honey or maple syrup, lime juice, and remaining 1 tbsp seasoning to make dressing. Set aside.
  3. Dice cucumber and slice tomatoes in half. Stir into steamer with cooked quinoa and toss with dressing. Add toppings, if desired.   
Tips

Choose quinoa when you need a bump of protein. While technically a seed, it's often used in place of rice or pasta. It's a complete protein and contains all nine essential amino acids—what a workhorse!
