Bring quinoa to a boil with the water and salt. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes, or until all water is absorbed and quinoa is light and fluffy. Remove from the stove and let cool while you prepare the rest of the salad.

SO good!! Make sure you get all the bitter pith off of the grapefruit or it will overpower the salad. Other than that, it’s absolutely wonderful!
