This Tomato Quinoa Salad is a refreshing and nutritious dish that's perfect for a light meal or side dish. Packed with fresh vegetables, herbs, and tangy feta cheese, it's a great addition to any summer menu.
Ingredients: 1 cup quinoa. 2 cups water. 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved. 1/2 cup cucumber, diced. 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped. 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped. 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped. 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled. 2 tablespoons olive oil. 2 tablespoons lemon juice. Salt and pepper to taste.
Instructions: Rinse quinoa under cold water and drain. In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add quinoa, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until quinoa is cooked and water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it cool. In a large bowl, combine cooked quinoa, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, parsley, mint, and feta cheese. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to combine. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld. Garnish with extra mint leaves, if desired. Serve and enjoy!
