Okay, I thought this was a little bland, but served with a flavorful protein it worked quite well! We had it with the spicy garlic lime tilapia and it was great! I adjusted the original amounts to make about 5 servings.

Ingredients
1 medium sized Cucumber, half peeled and diced (about 1 1/2 cups)
1/3 lbs Kale (about half of a bag of prechopped pre washed)
1/2 tsp Lime Zest (about the zest from one lime)
1 c Quinoa (uncooked)
Juice of one lime
salt to taste   

preparation
1. Cook the quinoa with salt. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer about 20 min until quinoa is light, fluffy and tender, or use a rice cooker. Let cool.

2. Chop the kale and steam for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.

3. Dice the cucumber and add to the kale and quinoa.

4. Zest the lime, then add the zest and squeeze the lime juice over the other ingredients and mix well. Salt to taste. Serve room temperature or chilled.
