Method
0 of 5 done- Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a small saucepan, combine the quinoa with 100 ml water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 15 minutes or until the quinoa has absorbed the water and becomes fluffy.
- While the quinoa is cooking, wash the cucumber and chop it into small cubes, approximately 1cm in size.
- In a small bowl, prepare the vinaigrette by whisking together olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until emulsified.
- Once the quinoa is cooked, fluff it with a fork and allow it to cool slightly. In a mixing bowl, combine the quinoa, cucumber, and crumbled feta cheese.
- Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently until all the ingredients are coated. Serve immediately or chill for 10 minutes for a more refreshing experience.
