If you're in a lunch rut, I'm here to help with my Mediterranean-inspired Greek Quinoa Salad. Whole-grain quinoa combines forces with crunchy cucumbers, peppery arugula, piquant red onions, punchy sun-dried tomatoes, briny kalamata olives, and vegan feta cheese for a healthy gluten-free bowl of goodness that'll transport you to your favorite beachside café.
I love a fresh, crunchy, veggie-packed salad in the summer. It's such a great way to cool down when the weather heats up. And as an added bonus, you don't have to cook!
This vegan Greek quinoa salad has all the flavors that transport me to a sunny villa in Mykonos, which is just what I need during my lunch break.
This quick and tasty salad is a perfect solution for your lunch or dinner needs, and has all the nutrition to carry you through till your next meal.
It's also incredibly uncomplicated - chop a few veggies, stir together the dressing and add in some pre-cooked quinoa.
To finish it all off, simply top with a generous handful of Tofu Feta. Word to the wise: Don't skimp on the feta, it makes the dish!
