Rinse 1 cup of quinoa under cold water and drain.

Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let the quinoa simmer for 15 minutes or until all the water has been absorbed.
Remove the quinoa from heat and let it cool for a few minutes. Fluff with a fork.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa with 1 cup of pomegranate seeds.
Dice 1 medium cucumber into small cubes and add to the bowl.
Crumble 1/2 cup of feta cheese and add it into the mix.
Finely chop a handful of fresh mint leaves and toss them into the salad.
In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, and a pinch each of salt and black pepper.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss everything gently to combine.
Serve chilled or at room temperature and enjoy your fresh and vibrant salad!
