  • In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of water with the quinoa, garlic, and a pinch of salt and black pepper. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat, cover, and simmer until the quinoa is tender and the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Fluff the quinoa with a fork. Let cool slightly, about 10 minutes.
  • Step 2
  • Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar and vinegar until the sugar is completely dissolved. Stir in the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Pour half of the dressing into another medium bowl.
