Greek Tomato-Feta Quinoa Salad
- 2 cups Water
- 1 cup Quinoa
- 1/4 cups Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 2 Tablespoons Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice
- 2 Tablespoons Water
- 2 teaspoons Honey
- 2 teaspoons Dried Oregano
- Salt And Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- 1/2 Orange Bell Pepper, Diced
- 1/2 Cucumber, Diced
- 1/2 cups Feta Cheese Crumbles
- 3 Tablespoons Fresh Chives, Chopped
- 3 Tablespoons Fresh Parsley, Chopped
- 1 cup Cherry Tomatoes, Sliced
- Bring the water to a boil in a saucepan, and season with salt. When it hits a boil, add the quinoa and reduce heat to a simmer. Cover the pan and cook until the water has absorbed, about 10-12 minutes. The quinoa is cooked when the spiral germ becomes visible around the grains. Remove from heat when done.
- Meanwhile, prepare the lemon vinaigrette. In a bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, water, honey, and dried oregano until thoroughly combined. Season with salt and pepper and whisk again.
- In a large container, add the cooked quinoa, diced pepper, diced cucumber, feta, chopped chives, chopped parsley, and the lemon vinaigrette. Stir until well combined. Carefully fold in tomatoes.
- Serve at room temperature or store in an airtight container in the fridge and serve chilled.
