Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Place the quinoa in a sieve and rinse under cold water. Transfer to a small pot, add water, and salt to taste. Bring to a boil, cover, and cook for 20 minutes until the water is absorbed.
Step 2
Drain the water, cover with a clean towel and lid, and let sit for 15 minutes. Transfer to a salad bowl, fluff with a fork, and let cool.
Step 3
Meanwhile, trim the beans. In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Blanch the trimmed beans for 5 minutes. Drain and transfer to a bowl of ice water. Once the beans are cool, gently peel off the skins. This should not take much time.
Step 4
Transfer the quinoa to a large bowl. Mix with the beans and herbs.
Step 5
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, vinegar, salt to taste, garlic, mustard, and oils. Mix with the quinoa and beans.
Step 6
Serve on a large plate and garnish with romaine leaves if desired.
