To start, rinse the quinoa in a fine mesh strainer and add it to a medium saucepan with the water and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the quinoa is tender and the water has been absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until softened. Add the mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until they release their liquid and start to brown. Add the red bell pepper and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until softened.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, mushroom mixture, parsley, cilantro, mint, lemon juice, and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste and toss to combine.
