Tips
Original recipe called for 1/2 red onion. I did not include it but see where it would add another depth of flavor.
Directions
In a small saucepan, combine quinoa, water, and 1/4 tsp salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to simmer, and cook covered until water is absorbed. About 20 minutes
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine oil, lemon juice, zest, garlic, and remainder of salt. Set aside
Add tomatoes, cucumber, mint, parsely, and feta to the cooled quinoa. Drizzle with dressing and toss to coat. Yield is about 3/4 cup per serving.
