How to make it
- In a small saucepan, bring water to a boil over high heat. Add quinoa and a pinch of salt; bring back to a boil. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer about 6 minutes, until nearly all the water is absorbed and quinoa is tender and chewy but not soft.
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine juice, oil, salt, and pepper. Fold in quinoa, scallions, cucumber, and herbs. Toss until thoroughly coated. Season to taste as desired.
- Thinly slice tomatoes. Arrange on serving plates. Spoon about 1 cup quinoa over tomatoes. Crumble feta on top. Serve immediately.
- NOTES: Quinoa is a high-fiber grain that's loaded with protein. More good news: You can find it in your local supermarket or health-food store, and it cooks in 6 minutes! Here Quinoa is substituted for bulgur wheat in this South Beach version of the zesty Middle Eastern salad, tabbouleh.
