Cook quinoa: for each cup of quinoa, boil two cups of water; let it simmer for 12 to 15 minutes or until the germ separates from the seed; remove from heat and let stand for about 3 minutes to become fully fluffy

While quinoa is cooking, in a small bowl whisk together: lemon juice, olive oil, cumin, salt and sugar to make a vinaigrette
-
In a medium sized bowl, combine quinoa and all remaining ingredients, except fresh herbs
-
Drizzle with vinaigrette; toss to combine and refrigerate at least one hour to allow flavours to combine

Add fresh herbs just prior to serving
