Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup quinoa
- 1 cup water

- 1 tsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 2 cups spinach
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved/quartered
- 1/2 cup feta, crumbled

Instructions:
- Cook Quinoa: Add quinoa, water, and a pinch of salt to a pot. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Turn off the heat, fluff with a fork, and set aside.
