Ingredients

Mediterranean Quinoa Salad

  • 1 cup uncooked quinoa cooked per directions, with 1/3 tsp salt. If you are not vegetarian, using chicken stock instead of water adds a nice extra flavour boost.

  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 3 oz crumbled feta
  • 1-2 Lebanese cucumbers chopped
  • 1 red finger hot chili minced
  • 1/4 cup minced fresh parsley

Dressing

  • 1/4 cup olive oil - use your best here
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 2 Tbsp sherry vinegar
  • 1/3 tsp kosher salt

Instructions

  • Cook the quinoa and let cool.
  • Mix the olive oil, lemon juice, sherry vinegar and salt together.
  • Combine the rest of the ingredients and toss with the vinaigrette. Taste for salt and adjust.
  • It's just that easy!
