Steps:
- Whisk together dressing ingredients. Dressing can be made up to 2 days ahead, then kept covered and refrigerated until ready to use.
- Rinse quinoa in cold water in a fine mesh sieve. Shake out excess water.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add just enough olive oil to coat bottom of skillet. Add drained quinoa and cook, stirring continually, until lightly toasted, about 5 minutes.
- Add broth and water to a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Add toasted quinoa, salt and garlic powder. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer until liquid is absorbed and quinoa is tender, about 15-20 minutes. Quinoa should be able to be fluffed with a fork. Remove from heat and let sit covered for 5 minutes. (If time allows let the quinoa cool a bit before combining the salad.)
- While quinoa is cooking, wash/rinse cucumbers and tomatoes. Slice cucumbers*** in half (or quarters) lengthwise. Use a spoon to scoop out seeds. Slice. Cut tomatoes in half.
- In a large bowl, combine cooked quinoa, sliced cucumbers, halved tomatoes, and chopped cilantro with dressing. Serve right away or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
