Let's Get Started

2. In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, cherry tomatoes, red onion, feta cheese, and fresh parsley.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to make the vinaigrette dressing.
4. Pour the dressing over the quinoa mixture and toss to coat evenly.
