Season the quinoa salad

After making the mixture, now we prepare the vegetable to add more flavors in seasoning. Start by washing the coriander and chives under cold water to remove dirt and excess.

Then chop half a bunch of washed fresh coriander and half a bunch of washed chives as well.

Pour the herbs into the salad and mix again. Distribute the preparation well in a large dish ( rather to be a flat dish ).

Wash and cut a beautiful tomato into small dices and spread them over the top of the salad. And finally sprinkle with some pieces of feta.
