Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cucumber, diced
  • 1/4 red onion, diced
  • 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Rinse and Prep the Quinoa: Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a pot, combine quinoa and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 15 minutes or until water is absorbed. Let cool.
  2. Combine the Fresh Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine cooled quinoa, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olives, and feta cheese.
  3. Whisk the Creamy Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and pepper.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Rinsing quinoa helps remove its bitter coating, ensuring a clean taste.
