Ingredients
  

1 cup quinoa, rinsed

2 cups water or vegetable broth

1 cucumber, diced

1 bell pepper (red or yellow), diced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 red onion, finely chopped

1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and halved

1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

In a medium saucepan, combine the quinoa and water (or vegetable broth). Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

    In a large mixing bowl, add the diced cucumber, bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and Kalamata olives. Stir well to combine.

      Add the cooked quinoa to the mixing bowl with the vegetables.

        In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Pour the dressing over the quinoa and vegetable mixture.

          Gently toss everything together until well combined and the dressing evenly coats all ingredients.

            Finally, sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese on top and garnish with chopped parsley.

              Serve chilled or at room temperature for the best flavor.
