Greek Grain Salad

2 cups quinoa, cooked (or the frozen in a bag just microwave to reheat type, if you are lazy and making salads because it is too hot to cook in the summer time like I am.)
1  arugula or baby spinach
1/4th cup crumbled feta cheese
10-12 kalamata olives, pitted and chopped (can use black olives in a pinch)
2 tomatoes, chopped
1 cucumber, chopped
4 tbl fresh oregano
Juice of 2 lemons (3 if they are stingy)
few tbl olive oil
salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste

This is pure assembly.  Just toss everything together and dress with the oregano/oil/lemon juice and let it sit in the fridge for awhile (or even a day or three) and take to a picnic or serve as a nice light summer side.
