Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook for 12 minutes,
until the grains are tender and the water is absorbed. Turn off the heat
and let the quinoa stand, covered, for 5-10 minutes. Transfer the quinoa
to a large bowl and chill until close to room temperature. - Meanwhile,
in a large bowl, combine garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil. Whisk until
well combined. Add in the cucumber, onion, tomatoes, parsley, mint, and
cooled quinoa and toss to combine fully.
