hands for a few minutes to wash it. Drain and repeat until the water is
clear (it usually takes 2 rinses). In a large saucepan combine the quinoa
with about 6 cups of cold water. Bring up to a boil, stirring
occasionally. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, or until
barely cooked. The quinoa is done when all the grains are translucent.

in a tightly covered container in the refrigerator until ready to assemble
the salad.

completely combined. In a large bowl, combine the cooled quinoa with the
cucumber, tomato, feta, green onions, parsley, and mint. Toss to mix,
then add the lime juice mixture and toss again, until the dressing is
evenly distributed. Taste for seasonings. Mound into the radicchio
leaves, using them as cups, and garnish as desired with cornichons,
