  1. Rinse the Jaivic Organic Quinoa thoroughly under cold water to remove any bitterness. Drain well.
  2. In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the rinsed quinoa, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the quinoa is cooked and the water is absorbed. Fluff the quinoa with a fork and let it cool.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped mixed vegetables, red onion, coriander leaves, mint leaves, and crushed peanuts.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, cumin powder, chaat masala (if using), salt, and pepper to create the dressing.
  5. Add the cooked and cooled quinoa to the bowl of vegetables and mix well.
  6. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss to combine, ensuring all the ingredients are coated with the flavorful dressing.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. You can also add a bit more lemon juice or olive oil if desired.
  8. Let the salad sit for about 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
  9. Serve the Jaivic Organic Quinoa Salad in individual bowls or on a platter, garnished with additional mint and coriander leaves for a fresh touch.
