How to Make Strawberry Quinoa Salad
- Rinse 1 cup of quinoa under cold water. In a saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and 2 cups of water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes until all the water is absorbed and the quinoa is fluffy. Let it cool for a bit.
- While the quinoa cools, chop 2 cups of ripe strawberries, 1 medium cucumber, and 1/2 small red onion into bite-sized pieces.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar, 1 tablespoon of honey, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- In a large bowl, mix the cooled quinoa with the chopped strawberries, cucumber, red onion slices, and 1/2 cup of crumbled feta cheese. Drizzle the dressing over the top.
- Carefully toss the ingredients together, being cautious not to crush the strawberries.
- Chill the salad in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving.
