Cook the Tomatoes: Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the pan and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes soften and begin to burst.

Add Spinach and Quinoa: Toss in the spinach and quinoa, stirring to combine. Let it cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the spinach wilts and everything is heated through.

Season It: Drizzle the balsamic vinegar over the mixture and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir everything well to blend the flavors.

Garnish: Remove from heat and sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese and fresh basil.

Serve: Plate your dish and enjoy!

Serving and Storage Tips:
Serving: This dish is perfect on its own for a light meal or served alongside grilled chicken, fish, or even as a hearty salad topping.

Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stove, adding a splash of water or broth if necessary to refresh the texture.
