Mediterranean Quinoa Bowl

Fluffy quinoa under cucumbers, tomatoes, chickpeas, olives, and feta, with a lemon-oregano dressing you will want to bottle. It holds up for days in the fridge, which makes it a meal-prep hero.

Steps

  1. Simmer the quinoa in the water 15 minutes until tender; rest covered 5 minutes, then fluff.
  2. Whisk the olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, and salt into a dressing.
  3. Toss the quinoa with the chickpeas, cucumber, tomatoes, olives, and dressing. Top with feta and serve warm or at room temperature.
Tip: Rinse the quinoa even if the bag says pre-rinsed. It washes off the bitter coating and the difference is real.
