Preparation Instructions

1

Prepare the Quinoa

Rinse the quinoa under cold water to remove any bitterness. In a medium saucepan, combine the quinoa and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

2

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the quinoa is fluffy and water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.

3

Chop Vegetables

While the quinoa is cooking, wash and chop the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and bell pepper into bite-sized pieces.

4

Combine Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, chopped vegetables, Kalamata olives, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped parsley.

5

Make Dressing

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

6

Dress the Salad

Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and toss gently to combine all ingredients evenly.

7

Serve

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to enhance flavors.
