- Rinse the quinoa thoroughly before cooking to remove its natural coating, which can taste bitter.
- For added flavor, cook the quinoa in vegetable broth instead of water.
- Let the quinoa cool before mixing it with the other ingredients to prevent wilting the arugula.
- Feel free to add other vegetables or herbs to customize the salad to your taste, such as cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, or fresh parsley.
- Consider adding a light vinaigrette or lemon dressing to enhance the flavors.
