Quinoa with peppers, tomatoes, and feta

Quinoa, a grain that's native to South America, is gaining lots of popularity in North American markets due to its numerous reported health benefits. You can add it to any vegetables and meats to create many tasty, hearty, satisfying dishes. Just be sure to rinse the quinoa grains thoroughly in a fine-mesh sieve under cold running water for about 1 minute, or at least until the water runs clear, before cooking it to remove the bitter outer coating. For this recipe, the quinoa beautifully complements the onions, green bell peppers, tomatoes, and feta cheese. It's a colorful, textural medley that looks and tastes delicious.
