Cook the quinoa according to the instructions, drain, and set aside. Let it cool slightly. In a bowl, combine the cucumber, tomatoes, black olives, cilantro, bell peppers, and onions. Add the quinoa. Season with salt and pepper. Make the dressing to taste with the remaining ingredients (except the cress) and toss with the salad. Then fold in the cheese so it doesn’t crumble too much. Decorate the plates with the cress. Tip: Also delicious with mozzarella instead of feta cheese.
