Rinse the quinoa under cold water.
In a medium saucepan, combine quinoa, water, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until quinoa is tender and water is absorbed.
Remove from heat and let quinoa cool completely.
In a large bowl, combine the cooled quinoa, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, parsley, mint, and feta cheese (if using).
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to combine.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
