Mediterranean Quinoa Salad

Recipe Copyright The Domestic Spoon. For educational or personal use only.

Crumbled feta cheese: You can buy the pre-crumbled feta or find a block and crumble it yourself! You can also use goat cheese if you want something tangier!
Sun dried tomatoes: You only need to use half a jar for this recipe, though if you really love sundried tomatoes, you can use the whole thing. Use your leftover for Marry me Chicken Pasta or Pesto Tortellini Pasta Salad
Chickpeas: Chickpeas add protein while keeping this meal vegetarian, but feel free to substitute for some shredded chicken if desired (or add both!)
Cucumber: English cucumbers work best because they are less moist than regular cucumbers, but any cucumbers will do!
Fresh parsley: Fresh parsley adds another level of fresh flavor to the salad. Dried parsley won’t have the same effect!
Red wine vinegar: You can substitute it out for white wine vinegar if you want something a little more subtle.
Mayonnaise: You could substitute plain Greek yogurt for a healthier option.
You can serve this salad at room temperature or cold.
To keep everything crisp, make sure to add the dressing right before serving! If you want the flavor to seep in and meld together, you can dress ahead of time.
Instead of olive oil, you can also use the oil from the sundried tomato jar for a more interesting flavor.
