👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Step 1: Combine quinoa and water or broth in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until quinoa is tender and liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it rest, covered, for an additional 5 minutes.

3. Step 3: Add diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion, crumbled feta, chopped parsley, and chopped mint to the bowl with the quinoa. Gently toss to combine.
4. Step 4: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, and honey (or maple syrup). Season with salt and pepper.
5. Step 5: Drizzle the dressing over the quinoa salad mixture and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
6. Step 6: Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
