Lemon-Snap Pea Quinoa

We love the color and texture of red quinoa, but regular quinoa also works well.
How to Make It
Bring 1 2/3 cups water and quinoa to a boil in a medium saucepan. Reduce heat to low, and simmer 12 minutes or until quinoa is tender; drain. Add sugar snap peas, lemon juice, olive oil, chopped fresh thyme, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper, stirring to combine.

I followed the recipe exactly and it had way too much lemon juice for us. It might be good with less.

Liked the crunchiness of the snap peas with the moistness of the quinoa. Very simple and quick to put together. Will make again.
Solid recipe
