Instructions

1

Bring quinoa and water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 15 minutes until water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and let cool.

Tip: Spread the cooked quinoa on a sheet pan to cool faster. Warm quinoa will wilt the vegetables.

2

Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, salt, and pepper for the dressing.

3

In a large bowl, combine the cooled quinoa, cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, olives, parsley, and mint.

4

Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to combine. Top with crumbled feta. Serve at room temperature or chilled.
