This Greek Salad with Quinoa is filled with fresh veggies, crunchy quinoa and drizzled with delicious lemon vinaigrette.  

I love Greek Salad! Fresh vegetables pair so well with flavorful olives and salty feta. This time around, I added some quinoa, to make this salad even tastier and more filling. I have absolutely no doubt that you’ll love this Greek Salad with Quinoa as much as I did!

I recommend making the Lemon Vinaigrette dressing, although you are free to use your favorite dressing instead. If you want an extra punch of flavor, add a clove of minced garlic to the the Lemon Vinaigrette.

Try to find some good-quality feta cheese for this salad. It makes a world of difference.  I recommend buying sheep’s milk feta cheese that is sold in bricks and stored in brine. I buy it from a local Bulgarian store, but it is also possible to get it online. Check out this Sheep’s Milk Feta Cheese.

Below, find the ingredient list:

• 2 cups of chopped grape (or regular) tomatoes
• 2 cups of chopped cucumbers
• 1 cup of chopped red onion
• 1 cup of small black olives
• 1 cup of cooked quinoa
• 1 cup of crumbled feta cheese

Lemon Vinaigrette:

• 1/4 cup of Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 2 tbsp. of freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1 tbsp. of apple cider vinegar
• 1/2 tsp. of dried oregano
• salt and pepper, to taste

1. Prepare the Lemon Vinaigrette by whisking all of the dressing ingredients together.

2. Place all the salad ingredients in a medium bowl and pour the dressing on top.

3. Mix everything well and serve.
