That's what we're aiming for with this vibrant quinoa salad. It's my go-to when I want something light yet satisfying that doesn't chain me to the kitchen all day. Let's walk through how to bring this dish of fresh veggies, tangy feta, and zesty lemon dressing together in your own kitchen.
Steps to follow
1
Rinse quinoa under cold water. In a saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil, add quinoa, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until tender and water is absorbed, about 15 minutes.
2
While the quinoa is cooking, chop the cherry tomatoes in halves, dice the cucumber, and finely chop the red onion.
3
Slice the kalamata olives and crumble the feta cheese.
4
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, honey, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and dried oregano to create the dressing.
5
In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, chopped vegetables, olives, and feta cheese. Drizzle with the dressing and toss to combine. Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator before serving.
