  • Author: Norann Oleson
  • Prep Time: 20 minutes
  • Cook Time: 15 minutes
  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 8
  • Category: Salads & Dressings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup quinoa, rinsed
  • 2 cups water
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
  • 1 cup good olive oil
  • 1 cup thinly sliced scallions, white and green parts (5 scallions)
  • 1 cup chopped fresh mint leaves (2 bunches)
  • 1 cup chopped flat leaf parsley
  • 1 seedless cucumber, peeled and diced
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved through the stem
  • 2 cups medium-diced feta (8 ounces)

Instructions

  1. Pour 2 cups of water into a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Add the quinoa and 1 teaspoon of salt, lower the heat and simmer, covered, for 15 minutes, until the grains are tender and open (they’ll have little curly tails).
  2. Drain, place in a bowl and immediately add the lemon juice, olive oil, and 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the scallions, mint, parsley, cucumber, tomatoes, 1 to 2 teaspoons of salt, and 1 teaspoon of pepper. Add the quinoa and mix well.
  4. Carefully fold in the feta and taste for seasonings. Serve at room temperature or refrigerate and serve cold.
