Recipe Summary Spinach, Tomato, And Feta Quinoa Salad

A quick and healthy side dish alternative to rice and pasta. It will make a quinoa-lover out of anyone. Thanks to the salty feta and sweet Campari tomatoes, my kids even like it!

Ingredients | Spinach Cucumber Tomato Salad

2 cups water

1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules

1 cup multi-colored quinoa

2 cups roughly chopped spinach

3 tablespoons almond oil

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons champagne vinegar

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried basil

1 teaspoon minced garlic

¼ teaspoon kosher salt

3 on-the-vine tomatoes (such as Campari®), diced

½ cup crumbled feta cheese, divided

freshly ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Bring water and bouillon to a boil in a saucepan. Add quinoa, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Transfer quinoa to a bowl and cool slightly, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir spinach into quinoa and refrigerate until completely cooled, at least 30 minutes.

Whisk almond oil, olive oil, vinegar, thyme, basil, garlic, and salt together in a bowl until dressing is smooth.

Stir tomatoes, 1/2 of the feta cheese, and dressing into cooled quinoa until evenly coated; top with remaining feta cheese and ground black pepper.
