Duas Quintas Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Rinse Quinoa

   Start by rinsing 1 cup of quinoa under cold water in a fine mesh strainer to remove the bitter coating.

2. 2

   Cook Quinoa

   In a saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and 2 cups of vegetable broth. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes until the quinoa is fluffy. Remove from heat and let it cool.

3. 3

   Chop the Vegetables

   While the quinoa is cooking, chop 1 cup of cherry tomatoes in half, dice 1 medium cucumber, and finely chop 0.5 medium red onion. Place these in a large mixing bowl.

4. 4

   Prep the Dressing

   In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, and season with salt and black pepper to taste.

5. 5

   Combine Ingredients

   Once the quinoa has cooled, add it to the mixing bowl with the vegetables. Add 0.5 cups of chopped fresh parsley and 0.5 cups of crumbled feta cheese.

6. 6

   Dress the Salad

   Pour the dressing over the quinoa salad and gently toss everything together until well combined.
