2. Add quinoa to water and bring to a boil. Be sure to cover. Once its boiling turn down to simmer. Let simmer for 15-20 minutes until all water is gone. You want it to be firm not mushy (it should have a little pop when you bite into it.). Then spread it out on a cookie sheet to cool..
3. De-vein and small dice the bell peppers. Mince parsley, and slice the green onions..
4. Zest the lemon and limes then juice. This can be done on the still warm quinoa..
5. Shred and crumble cheeses..
6. Make sure quinoa is cool, put in a large bowl then add olive oil, peppers, onions, parsley, cheeses. Mix together with a fork so as not to damage (mash) the quinoa. Salt to taste. Be careful not to over salt. Myzithra is a salty cheese..
