Ingredients

Instructions

  • Prepare quinoa according to package and allow to cool. Chop veggies and dill. Cucumbers work best cut in quarters. In a medium mixing bowl, combine quinoa, pepper, cucumber, walnuts, dill and onion and stir to mix well.
  • In a small bowl, juice lemon and add garlic, salt, pepper and olive oil. Whisk to combine.
  • Pour mixture over salad and stir to coat evenly.
  • Add feta and stir to combine.
  • Chill for 15-20 minutes. Enjoy! Refrigerate leftovers and toss in an extra drizzle if a bit dry when serving next day.

Notes

  • Toss with extra olive oil before serving. To freshen up your salad before serving, add an extra drizzle or two of olive oil. You can also top with more fresh dill and feta cheese when serving.
  • To save time, you can prep your quinoa in advance. You can also buy it frozen or in the little microwave packs. Just check to make sure there isn't any seasoning on the quinoa.
  • Make it a meal! Toss some grilled chicken or salmon right on top!
