Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Toss the capsicum, zucchini and red onion with olive oil, salt and pepper. Roast for 20–25 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook the quinoa: rinse well, then simmer in water (2:1 ratio) for 12–15 minutes until tender and the tails have popped. Drain any excess water and fluff with a fork.
Make the dressing: whisk olive oil, lemon juice, a pinch of salt and pepper.
Combine the cooked quinoa and roasted vegetables in a large bowl.
Pour over the dressing and toss well.
Top with crumbled feta and fresh parsley.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
