Mediterranean Quinoa
Servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup quinoa
- 1¼ cup boiling water
- 7 ounces feta cheese crumbled
- 2 handfuls of grape tomatoes diced or quartered
- ½ cup diced black olives I prefer Kalamata washed of brine. These amounts can be altered to your taste.
- ½ cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
- ¼ cup extra light olive oil
- 1 scant tablespoon of zaatar spice mix I prefer Pereg
- 2 garlic cloves freshly pressed
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Add quinoa to boiling water, let simmer covered for 12 minutes & fluff with a fork. In a small bowl, combine the feta, tomatoes, and olives. To prepare the dressing, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, zaatar spice, garlic, and salt. Toss quinoa with vegetables and dressing.
- The flavors mingle and are enhanced with time, so prepare slightly in advance.
- Note: This dressing is fabulous on any salad. Make a double or triple batch to keep in the fridge.
