Greek Quinoa Salad

Step 1

Rinse the quinoa under water using your hands to make sure it all gets rinsed well.

Step 2

In a medium pot boil the 1 cup water. Add the quinoa and a 1/2 teaspoon of salt and bring to a boil.

Step 3

When the water begins to boil, turn the heat to low and simmer with the cover on for about 10-15 minutes, or until the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and let cool.

Step 4

While the quinoa cools put the bell pepper, tomatoes, olives, roasted red peppers, cucumber, peperoncinis, feta cheese, green onions, parsley and mint in a large mixing bowl. Mix together until everything is combined.

Step 5

In a salad dressing container or mason jar combine the dressing ingredients and shake or whisk to combine.

Step 6

Add the quinoa to the salad and the dressing. Toss gently to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning to your tastes.
