> Pour the quinoa into a bowl of cold water and rub it between your
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.

then add the lime juice mixture and toss again, until the dressing is
