Chef’s Insight
For a richer flavor, use full-fat feta cheese instead of reduced-fat varieties. - Feel free to adjust the herbs according to your personal preference or based on what you have on hand.
Notes
Be sure to rinse the quinoa thoroughly before cooking to remove any bitter saponins. - Adjust the salt and pepper according to your taste preferences. - For a more visually appealing dish, consider layering the ingredients in a clear glass bowl instead of mixing them together.
