1 cup diced cucumber
1 cup sliced grape tomatoes
1 cup fat-free feta cheese, crumbled
½ cup Greek salad dressing
2 tablespoons lemon juice

Steps:

Bring water and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender and water has been absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool quinoa completely.
