Ingredients

For the salad:

  • 2 tomatoes
  • 1 cucumber
  • 1 green pepper
  • 1/2 red onion
  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese, optional

For the salad dressing:

Instructions

  1. In a small pot, place the quinoa with 2 cups of water. Turn to high until it begins to boil, then turn to a simmer and set your timer for 20 minutes.
  2. For your salad, chop cucumber, tomatoes, pepper, and onion into large bite-size pieces and place in a large bowl. Add in feta if desired.
  3. Combine all the ingredients for the dressing and toss with salad. Set the salad aside.
  4. For the tzatziki, chop your cucumber into small pieces and mix in a small bowl with the yogurt, garlic, lemon juice, and dill.
  5. When quinoa is done, divide among four bowls and top with the salad and some tzatziki.
  6. Serve warm (or cold works too!).
