Dianne's Lemon-Feta Quinoa Salad
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 2/3 cup halved grape tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup roasted unsalted sunflower seeds
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 (2.25 ounce) can sliced black olives, drained
  • 1 tablespoon minced shallot
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

  2. Mix quinoa, tomatoes, feta cheese, sunflower seeds, parsley, olives, and shallot together in a large bowl.
  3. Whisk olive oil, lemon juice, mustard, garlic, 1/4 teaspoon sea salt, and pepper together in a bowl; pour over quinoa mixture and toss to coat.
