These tasty vegetarian Greek Quinoa Bowls make healthy eating a breeze! Packed with fresh ingredients and Mediterranean flavors, this salad is perfect for a quick and nutritious meal.
Ingredients: 1 cup quinoa. 2 cups water. 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved. 1 cucumber, diced. 1/2 red onion, finely chopped. 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced. 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese. 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped. 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped. 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil. 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar. 1 teaspoon dried oregano. Salt and pepper to taste.
Instructions: Rinse the quinoa thoroughly under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine the quinoa and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the quinoa is cooked and the liquid is absorbed. Remove the cooked quinoa from the heat and let it cool. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked and cooled quinoa, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, Kalamata olives, feta cheese, parsley, and mint leaves. In a small bowl, whisk together the extra-virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Pour the dressing over the quinoa salad and toss to combine, ensuring everything is well coated. Serve the Greek Quinoa Bowl Salad immediately, garnished with extra feta cheese, if desired.
