Quinoa salad dressed with lemon, mint and tahini

Tasty and refreshing, also quite filling. Went well with the pizza Rob made.

Boil two cups water, add one cup quinoa. Cover and simmer for 12-ish minutes; as long as it takes for the quinoa to absorb all the water and look fluffy. Set aside and let cool.

Cut into very small dice:
one tomato
one red pepper.

Cut in strips:
a handful of mint
five-ish leaves of romaine lettuce.

Make a dressing with:
2-3 Tbsp tahini
2-3 Tbsp lemon juice
1-2 Tbsp olive oil
the zest from one lemon
one clove of garlic, crushed
1/2 Tsp salt.

Add the dressing to the (cooled) quinoa a little bit at a time, tossing and tasting as you do so. Toss in the tomato, red pepper and mint. Taste and adjust the seasoning if you want. Maybe add some freshly-ground black pepper. Place in attractive bowl, top with romaine, serve and eat.
