Step 1

To make this salad, start by preheating your oven to 375 F.

Step 2

Next, prepare the quinoa. Cook the quinoa according to your preferred method, then toss it with the olive oil and sea salt. Add it to a baking sheet and spread it out into an even layer.

Step 3

Transfer the baking sheet into the oven and allow it to cook for 20-25 minutes, being sure to stir the quinoa every 10 minutes, so that it gets nice and crispy.

Step 4

Once the quinoa is done, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool.

Step 5

Next, prepare the dressing. Add all of the dressing ingredients (the olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, italian seasoning, garlic, sea salt, and ground black pepper) and add them to a bowl. Whisk them together until they're fully combined. Taste and adjust the seasonings as needed.

Step 6

Then, prepare the salad. Chop the cucumbers and dill, slice the red onion, and add them to a large bowl alongside the crumbled feta and crispy quinoa.

Step 7

Pour the dressing on top and toss to fully combine. Then, serve and enjoy!
