Preparation Steps
Rinse the quinoa under cold water and drain well.
In a pot, combine quinoa and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes, or until water is absorbed.
Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and let it cool.
In a large bowl, add cooled quinoa, tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, feta, and parsley.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Notes
Serve chilled or at room temperature. For added flavor, top with avocado or nuts.
