Quinoa greek salad




Today I made a super healthy salad with Quinoa.  I really love the nuttiness of this grain and paired with vegetable and lemon...its out of this world.

Ingredients

1/2 cup of Quinoa ( wash in a small strainer)
1  cup water



Let this come to a boil and slow down the heat to simmer.  Cover the lid and cook till all the water had evaporated and the grain has a white ring around it. Fluff it up and set aside.



Vegetable

Cucumber         - diced
Baby tomatoes  - cut in half
Bell pepper       - diced
Onion                - diced
Garlic                - chopped
Parsley              - chopped
Feta cheese        - crumbled



The dressing I used a pear and cranberry balsamic vinegar and squeezed half a lemon but you can actually use any kind of dressing preferred.

Let the flavors develop for at least 2 hours.
