Cooking Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine quinoa with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and cool on a sheet pan for 20-25 minutes.
- While quinoa cools, prepare vegetables. Dice cucumber and soak diced red onion in cold water for 10 minutes, then drain and pat dry.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine cooled quinoa, chickpeas, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, parsley, mint, and olives. Toss gently.
- Make the dressing by whisking together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, oregano, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until emulsified.
- Pour dressing over salad and toss thoroughly. Gently fold in feta cheese. For best flavor, refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving.
- Serve immediately or divide into meal prep containers. Store in refrigerator for up to 4 days with dressing stored separately.
