Quinoa Greek Salad

This salad is so delicious! I had extra quinoa in the fridge that I needed to use up so I found a yummy looking recipe at Green Plate Rule for a quinoa greek salad. I added kalamata olives to mine. I also always cook my quinoa in vegetable broth for a little extra flavor. This was a simple and healthy week night dinner that even my even my picky Daniel loved!

I mixed the cooked quinoa with this dressing...

Greek dressing

• 1 garlic clove
• 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
• 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 1 tsp dijon mustard
• 1/2 tsp dried oregano
• 1/2 tsp dried basil
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp sugar, agave or honey (I used honey)
• dash fresh cracked pepper
• 1/3 cup olive oil

Then added the olives, banana peppers, red onion, tomatoes, cucumber and a little feta. I served it over a bed of spinach. The kids liked it without the spinach. G & I ate it with some grilled shrimp.
