Quinoa Salad
- 1/2 cup of quinoa
- 1 cup of water
- 1/2 cup of cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup of cucumber, chopped
- 1/4 cup of feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons of your favorite vinaigrette
Instructions:
- Rinse the quinoa under cold water until the water runs clear.
- In a saucepan, combine the quinoa and water. Bring it to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until quinoa is tender and water has been absorbed.
- Remove the quinoa from the heat and let it stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
- Allow the quinoa to cool to room temperature. You can place it in the fridge to speed up this process.
- Once the quinoa is cooled, combine it with the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and crumbled feta in a large bowl.
- Drizzle the salad with your favorite vinaigrette and mix until the salad is evenly coated. Serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve.
