Instructions

1. Rinse the quinoa well under cold running water, then cook it according to the package instructions.
2. While the quinoa cooks, put the juice and zest of the lemon in a serving bowl with the oregano, kosher salt and black pepper. Whisk in the extra virgin olive oil, then taste and adjust the seasoning.
3. Once the quinoa is tender and fully cooked, add it to the bowl with the dressing and stir so it coats and absorbs the lemon dressing. Let it cool completely.
4. While the quinoa cools, chop the scallions (white and green parts), bell peppers, and pitted Kalamata olives (drained), cutting the olives into smaller pieces, and add them to the quinoa as you go.
5. Halve the English cucumber lengthwise, cut it into quarters, slice it, and add it to the bowl. Stir everything together.
6. Finish with the crumbled feta cheese and serve. Fresh oregano leaves for garnish are optional.
