This recipe is just one of the easy-to-make-and-prep meals that I’ve started adding to my back-to-school lunch plan: Easy Mediterranean Quinoa Salad. This cold salad features fresh vegetables, a hearty and protein-packed grain, olives, and feta cheese! Because a salad just isn’t a salad without cheese. Amen? Amen!
In the base of a large salad bowl (or you can whisk this dressing in a seperate small bowl and pour the dressing over the salad), whisk together the salad dressing ingredients: extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, and just a pinch of salt and pepper.
Add the salad ingredients to the bowl, and gently toss until the dressing and salad ingredients are combined.
Serve immediately, or store the salad in an air-tight container for up to 4 days.
