Ingredients
  • 1 cup quinoa, cooked according to package instructions
  • 1¼ cup halved cherry tomatoes
  • 1¼ cup chopped seedless cucumber
  • ½ cup feta cheese
  • ½ cup sliced kalamata olives
  • ½ cup thinly sliced red onion
  • 1½ cup packed flat Italian parsley, chopped
  • Dressing:
  • ⅓ cup lemon juice
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
  1. Start by cooking the quinoa. This can be done ahead so it can be cooled or quinoa will need to be placed in the fridge for a bit to cool. Mix cooled quinoa with the rest of the salad ingredients (tomatoes through parsley).
  2. In a bowl whisk together dressing ingredients. Pour dressing over salad. Refrigerate and enjoy throughout the week.
