Quinoa Greek Salad with Feta and Tomatoes Recipe

Quinoa Greek Salad is a flavorful and filling side dish that you can feel good about! Add chicken and you’ve got the perfect lunch or dinner.

Friends, I am coming to you with my hat in my hands, admitting that I was wrong.

I was dead wrong about quinoa.

For quite some time, I ridiculed the ancient grain. In my defense, I thought that it’s moment in the sun would be fleeting.

I mean…there was so much hype. Quinoa, avocado toast, kombucha…add a fried egg and a beanie and you’ve got the hipster starter pack, am I right?

(No offense against hipsters, trust me – I have learned the error of my judgy ways. What goes around always comes back around and all that.)

After years of eye rolling and immature jokes, I finally decided to give quinoa a whirl. I try to eat clean carbs with most meals, and rice and potatoes were getting old.

Quinoa was surprisingly easy to make and SO full of flavor and texture. It’s definitely a great change of pace if you’re riced-out.

Not only that, but it’s a carb you can feel good about!  Clean eating approved, and super easy for your body to digest.

I guess there’s something to this ancient grain thing after all.

Greek salads are one of my all-time favorite things on the planet, so I decided to whip up a Greek-inspired quinoa salad.

Of course, this dish can be served warm, but I prefer to whip up a batch and keep it chilled in the refrigerator for an easy lunch. 

Add some diced grilled chicken, and you’ve got a meal that will provide enough protein and carbs to fuel the rest of your day.

I prefer to toss the tomatoes in the quinoa while the quinoa is still warm to release some of the juices – it just makes for a better flavor in my opinion.

Add the feta cheese after chilling to prevent melting.

Enjoy!
