Mediterranean Quinoa Salad

Ingredients

• •1 cup quinoa
• •2 cups vegetable broth (gluten-free)
• •1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• •1 cucumber, diced
• •1/2 cup red bell pepper, diced
• •1/2 cup red onion, finely chopped
• •1/2 cup kalamata olives, pitted and halved
• •1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
• •3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• •2 tablespoons lemon juice
• •1 teaspoon salt

Directions

1. 1Rinse quinoa under cold water and combine with vegetable broth in a saucepan.
2. 2Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until liquid is absorbed.
3. 3Remove from heat and let quinoa cool for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
4. 4In a large bowl, combine cooled quinoa, tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, red onion, and olives.
5. 5Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, and salt in a small bowl.
6. 6Pour dressing over quinoa mixture and toss gently to combine.
7. 7Top with crumbled feta cheese and serve chilled or at room temperature.

💡 Cool quinoa before tossing this salad; warm grains wilt cucumber and herbs and absorb too much dressing at once.
