Cook quinoa according to package directions, adding the salt.
Meanwhile, combine cucumber, drained tomatoes, olives, cheese and onion in large bowl; set aside.
Spread cooked quinoa in 13x9-inch baking dish. Cool slightly in refrigerator 5 minutes. Add quinoa to vegetable mixture; toss gently to combine. Serve immediately or refrigerate until cold.
Quinoa typically is found in the rice and pasta section of supermarkets. Rinse well before cooking to remove the natural bitter coating, if it is not pre-washed.
Quinoa can be cooked the day before and stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator, if desired.
