By Peggy Kotsopoulos • September 20th, 2011 • 5136 Views

Quinoa is a definite staple in my kitchen! This simple salad using leftover quinoa is super fast and easy to make. Plus you get the benefit of energizing B vitamins, muscle-relaxing magnesium, and blood-sugar-balancing fibre. What’s not to love? 

Ingredients:

2 cups cooked white quinoa
1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
½ cup cucumber, diced
½ cup black olives, pitted and chopped
½ red bell pepper, diced
¼ cup feta cheese, crumbled 
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
½ tsp sea salt
Pinch fresh ground black pepper
Pinch cayenne pepper
1 tsp dried oregano
Juice of ½ lemon

Directions:

Add all ingredients to a bowl and mix well.
