Chopped Parsley Salad With Quinoa, Comte + Pumpkin Seeds

1. 1

   Place quinoa and 1 cup water in a medium saucepan. Cover and soak quinoa for 6 to 8 hours. When ready to prepare salad, add 1/4 cup water to saucepan and place over high heat to bring to a boil, then simmer 5 minutes. Pour cooked quinoa onto a rimmed baking sheet and spread to a thin layer to cool (about 10 minutes).

   While quinoa cooks and cools, heat a medium, heavy skillet over medium heat. Add pumpkin seeds and cook, tossing occasionally, until they are toasted, about 5 minutes. Transfer to baking sheet with quinoa to cool.
