In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 cup of rinsed quinoa, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, sweet cherries, cucumber, feta cheese, red onion, and fresh mint.

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, salt, and black pepper.

Pour the dressing over the quinoa mixture and toss gently to combine. Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving.
