Easy Quinoa Cold Lunch Meal Prep

Instructions:

1. Combine rinsed quinoa, water or broth, and salt in a saucepan.
2. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
3. Remove from heat and let the quinoa sit, covered, for 5 minutes to steam.
4. Fluff the quinoa with a fork and spread it onto a baking sheet or wide bowl to cool rapidly.
5. Dice the cucumber, halve the cherry tomatoes, and finely mince the red onion.
6. Place the chopped vegetables, sliced olives, and chopped parsley into a large mixing bowl.
7. Gently fold in the crumbled feta cheese, ensuring the curds remain intact.
8. In a small jar or bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper until emulsified.
9. Pour the vinaigrette over the cooled quinoa and vegetable mixture and toss gently to combine.
