Greek Quinoa Salad Recipe with Feta

This Greek Quinoa Salad Recipe with Feta is rich in flavor. There’s something about the feta, oregano, and olives being infused with the tomatoes, quinoa, and cucumbers. This is one of my most favorite salad recipes and for good reason.

When I’m eating this Greek quinoa salad recipe, I feel like I’m indulging. Also, this is one of my husband’s favorite lunch dishes that he takes to work. It’s delicious, healthy and filling. Not to mention it’s packed full of nutrients and vitamins.

If I want to make this a standalone meal, I will sometimes add some form of protein- either chickpeas or grilled chicken.

If you have fresh oregano at your disposal, I highly recommend making this salad with fresh oregano. There’s something about fresh herbs that totally transform any dish.

Quinoa is an ingredient I really love to use. It’s a superfood and complete protein grain.

The quality of your ingredients makes a difference in my opinion. When I get fresh organic vegetables, I notice that their flavors are more pronounced. If you’d like to make this a vegan recipe, substitute avocado for the feta cheese. When I’m making this for work lunches, I will cut my avocado the day of.

This Greek Quinoa Salad Recipe is the blending of two major worlds- Quinoa and Greek Salad. Your taste buds will not be disappointed!
