"All the lovely flavours of spanakopita in a healthful quinoa salad that is pretty easy to make - once you have everything in the pot you can pretty much just sit back and wait for it to finish cooking. The spinach and feta flavour combination works really well in the quinoa salad and the one thing that I like the most, outside of the flavour, is how light and fresh the quinoa salad seems."
