  • 1

    Rinse quinoa under cold water. In a saucepan, combine the quinoa with water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 15 minutes until water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and let cool.

    In a non-stick skillet, lightly sauté the tofu cubes over medium heat for 3-5 minutes until they begin to brown. Remove from heat and let cool.

  • 4

    Peel and chop the boiled egg, and dice the red bell pepper, halve the cherry tomatoes, and finely chop the red onion and fresh cilantro.
