A vibrant and nutritious quinoa salad packed with colorful vegetables and a tangy dressing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 2 cups water or vegetable broth
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cucumber, diced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 1/4 red onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Rinse quinoa under cold water and drain.

  5. Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until well combined.
  6. Dress the salad by pouring the dressing over it and tossing gently to combine.
  7. Serve the salad cold or at room temperature.

Notes

For meal prep, store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. The flavors will intensify over time.
