Quinoa is a new entry in our family’s diet. I admit not being a huge fan of it but really do enjoy this fresh salad for its taste as well as for its colourful vibe. Healthy, refreshing, and deeply satisfying.
Ingredients:
1 cup quinoa
2 cups water
½ tsp salt
1 pomegranate, seeded
4 small Persian cucumbers (or 1 large English cucumber), diced
1 bunch fresh mint, chopped (~ 4 Tbsp.)
1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
Dressing:
1 lemon, juice and zest
3 Tbsp olive oil
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp freshly ground pepper
Directions:
1.) Add quinoa, water and salt to a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil then cover, turn off heat and let it sit for 15 minutes. Remove lid and fluff with a fork. Set aside to cool.
2.) In a small bowl, whisk dressing ingredients together.
3.) In a large bowl, combine the cooled quinoa, pomegranate seeds, diced cucumber, mint and feta.
4.) Add dressing and toss to coat.
