Wanting to address some of the other folks re: too much moisture, I cored and chopped the cucumbers and salted them. I quartered cherry tomatoes and salted them in the same strainer over a bowl and let them drain (with a couple of strong pushes with a paper towel over the top) and let them sit 30 to 60 minutes to drain off excess water. I cooked the quinoa exactly 15 minutes so that it was still al dente and not falling completely apart. I took a medium colander and lined it with a good paper towel and poured the cooked quinoa into it to absorb the balance of the cooking liquid.<br /><br />I also added chopped radishes, a slice of red onion, and chopped kalamara olives.<br />For the dressing, I used the juice of half a large lemon, an equal amount of olive oil, fresh ground pepper, ½ tsp. of honey, and a heaping tsp. of mayonnaise blended together.<br />It was delicious – light and fluffy and full of flavor. <br />
