  3. Step 3: In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, 1 tbsp olive oil, chopped rosemary, dried oregano, and a pinch of salt to make the dressing.
  4. Step 4: Fluff cooked quinoa with a fork and let cool for 5 minutes. Add roasted peppers, halved cherry tomatoes, and dressing; toss gently to combine.
