Rinse 1 cup of quinoa under cold water and drain.

In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of vegetable broth to a boil. Add the quinoa, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.

In a large bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of red wine vinegar, 1/4 cup of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon of dried oregano to make the dressing.

Add the lemon zest and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice to the dressing and mix well.

Chop 1/4 cup of fresh basil leaves and 1/4 cup of fresh parsley and add them to the dressing.

Once the quinoa is done, fluff it with a fork and let it cool for a few minutes.

Add the cooked quinoa, diced bell peppers, and halved cherry tomatoes to the bowl with the dressing and herbs.

Toss everything together until the salad is well mixed.

Serve the Mediterranean Quinoa Salad chilled or at room temperature.
