Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine the quinoa with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed and quinoa is tender.
While the quinoa is cooking, halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the cucumber, finely chop the red onion and parsley, and crumble the feta cheese.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, feta cheese, and kalamata olives.
In a small bowl, whisk together the juice of the lemon, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the dressing over the quinoa salad and toss to combine. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
