INGREDIENTS
DIRECTIONS
-
Combine the quinoa, water and salt in a medium saucepan. Bring the water to a boil, and after the water begins to boil, reduce the heat to low and cover the pan.
-
Gently simmer, covered, for 15 minutes (there may still be some water not yet absorbed). Remove from heat.
-
Keeping the pan covered, let it stand for 5 minutes, or until the remaining water is absorbed. Remove the lid and gently fluff the quinoa. Set aside to completely cool.
-
In a bowl whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper.
-
In a large bowl toss together the cooled quinoa, cherry tomatoes, basil, parsley, feta cheese and dressing. Serve at room temperature or chilled.
