To start, cook the quinoa according to package instructions and set aside. Next, slice the bell peppers, zucchini, eggplant, and red onion into 1/2 inch thick pieces.

Brush the vegetable slices with the olive oil mixture and grill them over medium-high heat, until they're tender and slightly charred.
While the vegetables are grilling, prepare the dressing by mixing together chopped parsley, chopped basil, crumbled feta cheese, and some of the remaining olive oil mixture. In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, grilled vegetables, and dressing. Toss everything together until it's evenly coated with dressing.
Finally, garnish the salad with some extra chopped parsley, basil, and feta cheese. This grilled vegetable and quinoa salad is best served warm or at room temperature. It's perfect for a healthy lunch or a side dish at your next barbecue.
