Ingredients
Directions
- In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the quinoa, reduce the heat to low, and cover. Simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the quinoa is tender and the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside to cool.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, Kalamata olives, feta cheese, and diced chicken.
- In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the lemon-herb dressing.
- Pour the dressing over the quinoa salad and toss to combine. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the Greek Chicken Quinoa Salad immediately, or refrigerate for 1-2 hours to allow the flavors to meld. Enjoy!
