Spinach and Feta Quinoa Salad

This quinoa salad was pretty easy to make and once you had everything in the pot you can pretty much just sit back and wait for it to finish cooking. The spinach and feta flavour combination worked really well in the quinoa salad and the one thing that I liked the most, outside of the flavour, was how light and fresh the quinoa salad seemed. It is always nice when a last minute dish turns out so good!
