This quinoa, tomato, and feta salad is a quick and healthy side dish alternative to rice and pasta. It will make a quinoa-lover out of anyone thanks to the salty feta and sweet Campari tomatoes. My kids even like it!
Ingredients
Salad Toppings
- 3 on-the-vine tomatoes (such as Campari®), diced
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese, divided
- freshly ground black pepper to taste
Quinoa Salad
- 2 cups water
- 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules
- 1 cup multi-colored quinoa
- 2 cups roughly chopped spinach
Dressing
- 3 tablespoons almond oil
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons champagne vinegar
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
Directions
Step 1
Prepare the quinoa salad: Bring water and bouillon to a boil in a saucepan. Add quinoa, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Transfer quinoa to a bowl and cool slightly, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir spinach into quinoa and refrigerate until completely cooled, at least 30 minutes.
Step 2
Make the dressing: Whisk almond oil, olive oil, vinegar, thyme, basil, garlic, and salt together in a bowl until dressing is smooth.
Step 3
Put the salad together: Stir tomatoes, 1/2 of the feta cheese, and dressing into cooled quinoa until evenly coated. Top with remaining feta cheese and ground black pepper.
