Dressing:

¼ cup olive oil

¼ cup rice vinegar

3 tablespoons soy free soy sauce (you can also use regular soy sauce)

2 tablespoons maple syrup

Salt and pepper to taste

Rinse the quinoa well and cook it on the 2 cups of water and ¼ teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer about 10-15 minutes till the water is absorbed.

In the meantime, prepare the rest of the ingredients. I boiled the edamame peas for a few minutes, so they weren’t to hard but its optional.

Once the quinoa is cooked and cooled a bit, add it to a large bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients to the bowl.

Mix the dressing in a jar with a lid. Por dressing over everything and toss it until well mixed. Now is ready to serve.
