6 cups cooked quinoa

1 cup crumbled feta cheese

1 cup chopped Roma tomatoes

½ cup chopped celery

½ cup diced seedless cucumber

½ cup each chopped red, yellow, and orange bell peppers

¼ cup chopped scallions

½ cup quartered artichoke hearts

½ cup toasted pine nuts

¼ cup chopped flat-leaf Italian parsley

1 tablespoon fresh chopped thyme

2 tablespoons fresh chopped basil

Juice of 2 lemons

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

¼ cup organic honey

¼ cup extra virgin olive oil

½ teaspoon kosher or sea salt (adjust to taste)
