1Rinse the quinoa under cold water.
In a medium saucepan, combine the quinoa and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the quinoa is tender.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the quinoa sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and let it cool.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and feta cheese.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the dressing over the quinoa mixture and toss to combine.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for later. Enjoy your Herbed Quinoa Salad!
