In a medium pot, bring water or vegetable broth to a boil. Add quinoa, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until all liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and let cool.
In a large bowl, combine cooled quinoa, chopped spinach, diced avocado, cherry tomatoes, and red onion.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Top with optional feta cheese if desired and serve immediately.

For added protein, toss in some chickpeas or grilled chicken (if not vegetarian/vegan).
Use lime juice instead of lemon for a different twist.
Best served fresh but can be stored in the fridge for up to a day.
