I recently came back from a vacation in Greece, and the hardest part was not eating the delicious food anymore! I decided I couldn't live without some Greece in my life and I came across this wonderful salad. I have made it everyday since I found it (no joke) and the sun dried tomatoes are an amazing addition. Just love it!

made this within 25mins, super easy, healthy, cheap and delicious!!!!! this is perfect for meal preps for during the week. i will definitely do this more often!! the best quinoa recipe i have tried. thank you so much

I just made this recipe last night for dinner, and we had this again for lunch!  Absolutely easy to make, and delicious!  Thanks for sharing - this will definitely be a staple for a quick, and flavourful meal.

Just made this salad and it’s delicious. Love the dressing. Substituted Israeli couscous for the quinoa and I do not have any sun-dried tomatoes so cut some  fresh but just topped them with it at the end on the plate. This will be a new fav at our home!  I’ll be getting some sun-dried tomatoes for next time.

The first time I tried a quinoa recipe, I gagged while forcing myself to eat it. This one is so good. I want to go back for more already. Thanks for the recipe.

OMG you won't believe this. My family hate chick peas and they don't like quinoa so I made it just for myself. And now they ate it all!!  And loved it

What a perfect meal for a hot summer day, and one that makes for great leftovers!  When I originally told my husband and daughter what was for dinner they both looked at me like, "Really?", but two bites in they both asked if I had doubled the recipe so they could have it for lunch the next day!

Made this for dinner last night with kofte. Hubs and I both LOVED it! This might be my new go to salad for parties!

I make this using Farro instead if quinoa. Delicious!

I really liked this recipe! My Daughter especially.  This is a wonderful and healthy.  I will be serving this for dinner often.

This was my first time making quinoa and this salad was absolutely delicious!  I will surely be making it again!

Made this for a co-worker and her husband who are vegan and just welcomed home twin girls! I could not find vegan feta cheese in my area so omitted that.  I did not have fresh basil so used fresh parsley and added a little dried basil to the dressing.  I also added a heaping (!) tablespoon of drained capers because I love them. :) The salad was great!  I am saving to Pinterest and will definitely make again!

I subbed fresh cherry tomatoes for the sun dried, added more feta and used the whole can of chickpeas. Super yummy!! Thanks:)

Loved this simple and delicious salad! Looking forward to having it as a go to throughout the year. I subbed out chickpeas and added falafel for work lunches. Yum! 

Most yummy! The dressing is perfect against the savory of the feta. Will definitely save this one. 

I don't normally leave reviews or comments but this recipe was fantastic! I followed it exactly other than adding extra feta cheese. I will definitely make it again and again.

This was excellent!  First time I have made a Quinoa salad that I actually enjoyed eating.  Dressing was great will use for other things. I left out the olives but I did add some chopped preserved meyer lemons which we have an abundance of here.

This was so good, thank you!  I didn't have any chickpeas, so substituted black beans.  I also had fresh grape tomatoes, so used them.   Loved the dressing and like you suggested I put half on this salad, so have the other half for next salad.  Looks like I'll have lunch for the week, yay!

I’ve made quite a few quinoa salads and this is by far my favorite. It’s possible I will eat it all before Dinner us served!

Very tasty and fun to make!    It’s 99 in Florida so it’s great to eat a nice cool salad like this!  Amazing flavors

I brought this dish  to a dinner party and everyone loved it! Left a bit of it at home and my family loved it too! Had to make  more for my family the next day! Thank you for the delicious recipe!

Thanks for this awesome recipe! Deeeeelicious and the possibilities are endless with how many things I got to add. I added artichoke hearts on top of everything else. ♥

Absolutely delicious. I've made.twoce now and it's one of my favorite lunches to have on the go! For the dressing how long does it keep in the fridge in a Mason jar?
