Place the quinoa in a fine-mash strainer and rinse under running water until the water turns clear. This should take around 3 minutes.
Place water, red quinoa and a pinch of salt in a pot. Bring it to a boil, lower the heat, put the lid on and cook until all the water is absorbed, 12-15 minutes.
Turn the heat off and place a paper towel between the pot and the lid. Let it cool.
Place cooled quinoa in a big bowl and mix it with all the other ingredients.
