Scale
  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cucumber, diced

  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Rinse and Cook the Quinoa: Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a pot, combine quinoa and water, bringing it to a gentle boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat, cover, and let it simmer for 15 minutes or until the water is fully absorbed. Fluff with a fork and let cool.
  2. Prepare the Veggies: In a large bowl, combine the halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, finely chopped red onion, sliced kalamata olives, crumbled feta cheese, and fresh parsley.
  3. Whisk the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
  4. Combine Ingredients: Add the cooled quinoa to the bowl with the vegetables. Pour the dressing over the top and gently toss everything together.
  5. Chill and Serve: For the best flavor, serve the salad chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

For added flavor, serve with grilled chicken or fish. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
