Method
Preparation
- Rinse your quinoa under cold water for about 2 minutes to remove its natural bitterness.
- Cook the quinoa by bringing 2 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the rinsed quinoa, reduce heat, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed and the quinoa is fluffy.
- Chop your cucumbers and herbs while the quinoa cooks. Dice 1-2 medium cucumbers and finely chop a handful of fresh dill and mint.
- Combine the cooked quinoa with chopped cucumbers, feta cheese, dill, and mint in a large mixing bowl. Toss gently to mix all the ingredients together without breaking up the feta too much.
- Dress your salad with olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste.
- Chill your salad in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
