Method

IN-FLIGHT

  1. 1

    Prepare base

    In a large bowl, combine cooked quinoa, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, olives, and feta. Add chopped parsley and toss to distribute evenly.

  2. 2

    Make dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, white wine vinegar, oregano, sumac (if using), salt, and black pepper until emulsified.

  3. 3

    Dress and toss

    Pour the dressing over the quinoa mixture and toss until everything is evenly coated and seasonings are balanced.

  4. 4

    Chill and serve

    If time allows, chill the salad for 10 minutes to let flavors meld; otherwise serve immediately. Garnish with extra parsley if desired.
