Ingredients
Servings: 4
- 1½ cups quinoa
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more
- ¼ cup olive oil, plus more
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 bunch scallions

- ½ cup mint leaves
- ¼ cup chopped toasted pistachios

Preparation Instructions
-
Bring quinoa, 1 tsp. kosher salt, and 3 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until quinoa is tender, 8–10 minutes. Remove pan from heat and let sit 15 minutes. Fluff quinoa with a fork; transfer to a large bowl.
-
Meanwhile, whisk oil and lemon juice in a small bowl. Drizzle over warm quinoa and toss to coat; season with salt and pepper. Let cool.
-
Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Grill scallions and tomatoes in a grill basket, turning occasionally, until charred in spots and tomatoes begin to split, 6–8 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and slice scallions into 1″ pieces.
-
Spoon quinoa onto a platter and top with scallions, tomatoes, avocado, mint, and pistachios. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with sea salt.
