Instructions
- First rinse the quinoa. In a pot add the water and the quinoa and bring to a boil. Cover, turn down the heat to low and cook for 20 minutes. Let it cool completely.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, oregano and pepper. Set aside.
- In a large bowl toss the chicken, cucumber, olives, feta cheese, tomatoes and red onion together. Add cooled quinoa and dressing and toss. Garnish with fresh parsley if preferred.
Notes
- I don't normally add salt to Greek salads because the olives and the feta cheese are pretty salty, so it's not really needed.
- You can use regular quinoa, you don't have to use red quinoa for this salad.
