I've been trying to think of how I can use some quinoa that I bought on a whim. Well, we have a faculty potluck and I thought it would be as good a time as any to experiment...
What you'll need:
360 grams (about 12.5 oz) of cooked quinoa
3/8 cup kalamata olives, pitted, halved
1 cup shredded carrots
3 Tbsp crumbled feta cheese (+ 1 Tbsp for garnish)
1 cup cherry (or grape) tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup sundried tomatoes, julienne cut
1 medium cucumber, seeded, cubed
1/2 cup Greek vinaigrette (adjust for desired flavor or texture)
1 Tbsp sliced honey toasted almonds (+ 1 Tbsp for garnish)
fresh ground pepper to taste (no need for salt, feta and olives took care of that!)
Gently toss together, chill for about 30 minutes. Top with crumbled feta and almonds. Serve. Enjoy.
Easy, right?!
