Mediterranean Quinoa Salad Recipe Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make this Mediterranean quinoa salad recipe:
Quinoa, of course! 1 cup dry quinoa yields 3 cups cooked. Find my go-to method for how to cook quinoa here.
Roasted cherry tomatoes – They add rich savory flavor and yummy chewy texture to this salad. You’ll need to roast them for a couple of hours on low heat, until they shrivel around the edges, so be sure to plan ahead.
Persian cucumbers – For crunch!
Red onion – For sharp depth of flavor.
Feta cheese – I love its creamy texture and tangy flavor in this quinoa salad recipe, but feel free to skip it if you’re vegan.
Kalamata olives – I’m an olive convert! For years, I avoided olives, but their briny, salty flavor takes this salad to a whole new level.
Toasted pine nuts and roasted chickpeas – They add protein, nutty flavor, and lots of crunch.
Arugula and mixed herbs – They make this salad nice and fresh! I like to use a variety of leafy herbs here, such as mint, parsley, oregano, thyme, and/or basil.
Italian dressing – Bright, tangy, and flecked with (more) herbs, it ties the whole salad together! https://www.loveandlemons.com/quinoa-salad-recipe/
