Mediterranean Quinoa Salad

Ingredients

• 1.5 cups quinoa, cooked and cooled
• 1 cucumber, diced
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, halved
• 1/4 cup red onion, diced
• 1/2 cup feta, crumbled
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley and mint
• Dressing: 3 tbsp lemon juice + 1 tsp Dijon + 1/4 cup olive oil + salt, pepper

Method

1. Cook quinoa per package directions. Cool completely.

2. Toss with vegetables, herbs, and feta.

3. Dress with lemon vinaigrette. Season.

What You're Practicing

• Cool the quinoa completely before dressing — warm quinoa absorbs too much dressing and gets mushy.
• This keeps well for 3 days — great for meal prep.
