Steps

1Rinse the quinoa until the water runs clear.
2Add the quinoa, water, and salt to a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is fully cooked and the water has been absorbed- 15 to 20 minutes. After it's done, set aside and let cool.
3While the quinoa is cooking, prepare the salad dressing. Add the olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, oregano, honey, garlic, and salt and pepper to a small bowl and whisk until well combined. Set aside.
4Combine the cooked quinoa, tomatoes, cucumber, olives, red onion, and feta cheese in a large bowl. Drizzle the dressing and toss to combine. Salt and pepper to taste.
