A vibrant and refreshing salad featuring quinoa, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, and feta cheese, perfect for gatherings and meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cucumber, diced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 1/2 red onion, diced
  • 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and halved
  • 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 quinoa under cold water. In a saucepan, combine quinoa and water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until quinoa is fluffy and water is absorbed.
  2. Cool the quinoa. Let the quinoa cool to prevent the veggies from wilting.
  3. Combine the cooled quinoa, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, red onion, olives, and feta cheese in a large bowl.
  4. Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
  5. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to combine. Serve chilled.

Notes

For a protein boost, add grilled chicken or chickpeas. The salad can be made ahead of time; just keep the dressing separate until serving.
