  • 2 cups water
  • 1 cucumber, diced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 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

For the Dressing:

  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions:

  1. Cook the Quinoa:

    • In a medium-sized saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the rinsed quinoa and a pinch of salt. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the quinoa is cooked and the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and let it cool.

  3. Make the Dressing:

    • In a small bowl, whisk together the extra-virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper to create a zesty dressing.
  4. Combine and Toss:

    • In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked and cooled quinoa with the diced vegetables, Kalamata olives, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped fresh parsley.
  5. Dress the Salad:

    • Pour the prepared dressing over the salad mixture. Gently toss everything together until all ingredients are well coated with the dressing.
  6. Season to Taste:

    • Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
