Method
Cooking Quinoa
Rinse the Quinoa
Place the quinoa in a fine mesh strainer and rinse it under cold water for about 2 minutes to remove any bitterness.
Cook the Quinoa
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 15 minutes or until all the water is absorbed.
Preparing Vegetables
Chop the Vegetables
While the quinoa is cooking, chop the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red bell pepper, and red onion into bite-sized pieces.
Wash the Spinach
Rinse the fresh spinach leaves under cold water and pat them dry with a towel.
Making the Dressing
Combine Dressing Ingredients
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Assembling the Dish
Combine All Ingredients
In a large bowl, mix the cooked quinoa, chopped vegetables, and spinach. Pour the dressing over the mixture and toss until everything is well coated.
Add Garnish
Sprinkle feta cheese and fresh parsley on top of the salad before serving.
