To start, rinse the quinoa in a fine mesh strainer and add it to a medium saucepan with the water. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pan. Cook the quinoa for 15-20 minutes, or until all the water has been absorbed and the quinoa is tender.
While the quinoa is cooking, chop the red onion, cucumber, and cherry tomatoes and crumble the feta cheese. In a small bowl, whisk together the chopped dill, Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to make the creamy dill yogurt dressing.
Once the quinoa is cooked, fluff it with a fork and transfer it to a large bowl. Add the chopped vegetables and feta cheese to the bowl and toss everything together. Drizzle the creamy dill yogurt dressing over the top of the salad and toss again to coat everything evenly.
