Instructions

1. Rinse the quinoa, then combine it in a large saucepan with 1 3/4 cups water and a pinch of salt.
2. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat, cover and simmer for about 15 minutes, until the quinoa has doubled in size and absorbed the water.
3. Turn off the heat and let the quinoa sit, covered, for another 10 minutes, then fluff it with a fork.
4. Spoon about 1/4 cup hummus into each of 6 shallow bowls.
5. Divide the quinoa and Mediterranean cucumber-tomato salad between the bowls, placing them on either side of the hummus.
6. Fill the spaces with feta, Kalamata olives, Castelvetrano olives, marinated artichoke hearts and, if using, a spoonful of harissa.
7. Drizzle the hummus and quinoa with extra virgin olive oil, sprinkle with Aleppo pepper and/or sumac if you like, and serve immediately.
