  • This Salad looks just wonderful!! it is so easy, healthy and super yummy..let's see the step by step guide to make it

    Ingredients
    1 cup quinoa, uncooked
    1 medium tomato, finely chopped
    2 Persian cucumbers, finely chopped
    1 medium red bell pepper, seeded & finely chopped
    1 medium avocado, peel & core removed, chopped
    2 tbsp red onion, finely chopped
    1/2 cup parsley or cilantro, finely chopped
    1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
    10 Kalamata olives, pitted & cut in halves
    1 lemon or lime, juice of
    2 tsp cumin
    1 tsp black pepper
    1 tbsp garlic powder

    Directions
    Cook quinoa al dente. I like firm quinoa for salads, so I undercook it by 3 minutes and use ratio of 1 cup quinoa:1.25 cup water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and cook for 10 minutes. Or you can cook it as per package instructions.

    Add all ingredients to a large salad bowl and gently mix just enough to combine. I do not make dressing separately for this type of salad but you could by whisking together lemon (lime) juice, cumin, black pepper and garlic powder in a small bowl.

    Serve cold. Refrigerate covered for up to 2 days.
