A refreshing and nutritious Mediterranean Quinoa Salad with a vibrant mix of vegetables, feta cheese, and a zesty dressing. Perfect for a light and satisfying meal.
Ingredients: 1 cup quinoa, rinsed and drained. 2 cups water. 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved. 1 cucumber, diced. 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, sliced. 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled. 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped. 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped. 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil. 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar. 1 teaspoon dried oregano. Salt and pepper to taste.
Instructions: Put the quinoa and water in a medium-sized saucepan. Slowly raise the heat, cover, and let it cook for 15 minutes, or until the quinoa is done and the water is absorbed. Whisk the quinoa with a fork and set it aside until it's cool. Put quinoa that has been cooled, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, olives, feta cheese, red onion, and parsley in a large bowl. Mix olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, salt, and pepper in a small bowl with a whisk. Add the dressing to the quinoa mixture and mix it all together, making sure everything is covered. Put the salad in the fridge for at least 30 minutes so that the flavors can mix. If you want, you can add more feta cheese and parsley as a garnish. Enjoy! Serve cold.
