Not-Greek Tomato Cucumber Quinoa Salad

I’m not Greek. I don’t like olives. And I’ve never even seen My Big Fat Greek Wedding.

So- I make no claims that this is an authentic Greek salad. All I’m saying is, “It’s GOOD.” And you should make it.

Not-Greek Tomato Cucumber Quinoa Salad

Dressing Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup olive or avocado oil
• 1 T red wine vinegar (balsamic or apple cider vinegar would probably work too)
• 1 T lemon juice
• 1 tsp honey
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/8 tsp garlic powder
• 1/8 tsp black pepper
• 2 T. minced oregano

Salad Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup quinoa (measured dry), cooked and cooled
• 1/2 of a cucumber, chopped
• 2 tomatoes, chopped
• 1 green onion, minced (white and green part)
• 1/4 cup feta cheese

In a small container, mix the dressing vigorously (I shook mine in a jar).

In a large bowl, mix the veggies, quinoa, and feta. Drizzle the dressing over top and mix evenly to coat. Serve and enjoy!

I preferred mine served at room temp rather than chilling it, but it can certainly be made ahead of time and kept in the frig.

Makes 3-4 servings.
