Mediterranean Quinoa Salad<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\nVery yummy and one of our family’s favs!<\/p>\n
2 cups chicken broth<\/p>\n
1 cup quinoa, uncooked<\/p>\n
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved<\/p>\n
1 small English cucumber, chopped<\/p>\n
1 small red onion, cut crosswise in half, thinly sliced<\/p>\n
1\/2 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil Greek Feta Dressing, divided<\/p>\n
10 cups of torn romaine lettuce<\/p>\n
1\/2 cup of feta cheese<\/p>\n
(I make my own vinaigrette salad dressing with 1\/3 cup of olive oil, 1\/4 cup apple cider vinegar, heaping teaspoon of dijon mustard, 1 clove of minced garlic, salt and pepper)<\/em><\/p>\nDirections<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\nRinse quinoa unless the packaging says it’s unnecessary. Doing this gets rid of the bitterness. Bring broth and quinoa to boil in saucepan on high heat, simmer on medium-low heat for 15 minutes, or until liquid is absorbed. (You can also tell it’s done when it develops a tiny white ring around the grain.) Cool.<\/p>\n
Combine tomatoes, cucumbers, and onions in medium bowl. Add 1\/4 cup of dressing, toss to coat.<\/p>\n
Cover platter with lettuce, top with quinoa, tomato mixture, cheese and remaining dressing.<\/p>\n
I usually serve it with grilled chicken and you got yourself a healthy, filling meal. Also, it’s looks very impressive served on a large, rectangular\u00a0platter. I wish I had a picture, but I don’t! Next time I make it I’ll definitely take a picture.<\/p>\n
