In a small saucepan*, combine quinoa, water, lemon zest and salt. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cover. Cook for about 15 minutes or until quinoa is fluffy.
Uncover and let cool for a minute. Add lemon juice (adding more to taste) and parsley. Stir until combined, serve warm.
Notes
*I usually make my quinoa in a rice cooker - you can make this using any quinoa making method you prefer!
