¼ cup chopped onion

¼ cup low fat mayonnaise (such as Hellman s® Light)

1 teaspoon wasabi powder

2 teaspoons lemon juice, or to taste

Stir the quinoa and water together in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover; cook in the microwave on High until the water has been absorbed and the quinoa is tender, about 9 minutes. Uncover and place into the refrigerator to cool.
