Ingredients for Quinoa and Feta Salad

Cherry tomatoes–Ripened plump cherry or grape tomatoes garnish this irresistible salad and can be found in most produce sections at grocery stores! If you do not have cherry tomatoes, then you can use regular diced tomatoes.
Cucumber– One English cucumber is freshly sliced to add a bit of refreshing crunch to this Greek salad bowl. Any type of cucumber will work.
Bell pepper– One bell pepper of any color provides another layer of texture and brings the salad pungent fresh flavors.
Kalamata olives– pitted kalamata olives are naturally tangy and add a hint of savoriness to the salad.
Red onion– Diced red onion is a subtle onion that is delicious in most salads. We highly recommend red onion!
Cooked quinoa– If you have some leftover quinoa you need to use up, then you will want to make this recipe! Quinoa is a dried grain that can be found near the rice and other grains in grocery stores. Make sure it is cooked.
Feta cheese– Crumbled feta cheese balances all of the savory flavors of this recipe and makes it extra tasty.
Oregano– A light sprinkle of oregano seasons this salad until perfectly flavorful and brings an aromatic earthy quality.
Olive oil– Rich olive oil is a must for this easy recipe. We suggest using good, high-quality oil.
Red wine vinegar– Tangy red wine vinegar brings the salad together and creates a vinaigrette-style dressing with the oil.
Sea salt and pepper– Kosher sea salt and freshly cracked pepper are used for extra flavor and can be used to your preference.

How to Make Greek Quinoa Salad Bowl

First, wash and prepare all of the vegetables. Make sure the cooked quinoa has cooled off and set it aside until ready to use.

Next, place all of the veggies in a large salad bowl. Add the cooled cooked quinoa, crumbled feta cheese, oregano, olive oil, and red wine vinegar.

Season all of the ingredients with salt and pepper to your liking and lightly toss the salad until evenly combined.

Enjoy!

Notes and Tips

• Use other types of grains such as barley, amaranth, couscous, farro, millet, sorghum, etc.
• Store the leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three to four days. You may want to wait to sprinkle the feta over the salad until ready to eat.
• Pair with breadsticks or your favorite roll.
• Wash and prepare the ingredients ahead of time to save time.
