Directions

Add the quinoa and 1 cup water in a medium saucepan.

Cover, bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, and let simmer for 15 minutes.

Turn off the heat, and let stand for another 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.

Transfer the quinoa into a large mixing bowl.

Meanwhile cook the wide rice and the remaining 2¼ cups water in another saucepan.

Cover, bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, and let simmer for about 45 minutes.

Drain well and transfer into the same bowl with quinoa in.

In a small bowl, whisk together the dressing ingredients until well blended, season with salt and black pepper.

Add the cherries, grapes, celeries and feta cheese into the same mixing bowl.

Pour the dressing over, and gently toss until well combined.

Season to taste with more vinegar, salt and black pepper if needed.

Served warm, at room temperature or chilled.
