Ingredients:

Serving

3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
1/4 tsp oregano
1 clove garlic chopped fine to a paste
kosher salt and fresh ground pepper
1/4 evoo
1 cup quinoa
2 cup red and yellow grape tomatoes halved
1 cup kalamata olives pitted
2 green onions, green
2 pickled cherry peppers diced
1 small red onion halved and very thin sliced
1/2 english cucumber small dice
feta cheese for sprinkling

Directions:

Whisk together the lemon juice, vinegar, oregano, garlic and some salt and pepper in a small bowl. Slowly whisk in the oil until emulsified. Let sit at room temperature while you prepare the salad to allow the flavors to meld.
Rinse the quinoa in a strainer until the water runs clear. Combine the quinoa, 2 cups water, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a small saucepan, bring to a boil and cook until the water is absorbed and the quinoa is tender, about 15 minutes.
Transfer to a bowl, fluff with a fork and let sit for 5 minutes to cool slightly. Add the tomatoes, olives, green onions, cherry peppers, red onions, cucumbers and dressing and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 8 hours before serving. The longer it sits the better the flavor.
Just before serving, transfer to a platter and sprinkle feta on top.
