Method

Cooking Quinoa

1

Prepare the Quinoa

Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine quinoa and water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.

Roasting Chicken

2

Roast the Chicken

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a bowl, mix olive oil, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Coat the chicken breast with this mixture and place it on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Let it rest for 5 minutes before chopping.

Assembling the Bowl

3

Combine Salad Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine chopped greens, salami, kalamata olives, pepperoncini, feta cheese, smoked mozzarella, garbanzo beans, cucumber, grape tomatoes, sweet corn, and red bell pepper.

4

Add Quinoa and Chicken

Once the quinoa has cooled, add it to the salad mixture along with the chopped roasted chicken. Toss to combine.

Making the Vinaigrette

5

Prepare the Vinaigrette

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, chopped basil, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Serving
