An easy to make light salad that can be served with or without chicken for vegetarians.
Ingredients
- 2 cups water
- 2 cubes chicken bouillon
- 1 clove garlic, smashed
- 1 cup uncooked quinoa
- 2 large cooked chicken breasts – cut into bite size pieces
- 1 large red onion, diced

- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
- ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
- ¼ cup chopped fresh chives
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2/3 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Directions
Step 1
Bring the water, bouillon cubes, and garlic to a boil in a saucepan. Stir in the quinoa, reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the quinoa is tender and the water has been absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Discard the garlic clove and scrape the quinoa into a large bowl.
