Rinse the quinoa under cold water.
In a medium pot, bring water to a boil, add salt and quinoa.
Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until water is absorbed.
Remove from heat and let sit for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork and let cool.
In a large bowl, combine the cooled quinoa, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, parsley, and mint.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to combine.
Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving for best flavor.
