Rinse the quinoa under cold water using a fine-mesh sieve.
In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the quinoa, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the water is fully absorbed and the quinoa is tender.
While the quinoa is cooking, halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the cucumber, finely chop the red onion, and chop the fresh parsley.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to make the vinaigrette.
Once the quinoa is cooked, fluff it with a fork and let it cool for a few minutes.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and fresh parsley.
Drizzle the lemon vinaigrette over the salad, and toss until all the ingredients are well coated.
Serve the quinoa salad immediately or refrigerate it for later consumption.
