  • step 1
    ingredients 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed Lemon Juice
    1 tablespoon Red Wine Vinegar
    1/4 teaspoon Dried Oregano
    1 Garlic clove (smashed and finely chopped to a paste)
    Kosher Salt and freshly ground Black Pepper
    1/4 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
    instructions Whisk together the lemon juice, vinegar, oregano, garlic and some salt and pepper in a small bowl. Slowly whisk in the oil until emulsified. Let sit at room temperature while you prepare the salad to allow the flavors to meld.
  • step 2
    ingredients 1 cup Quinoa
    Kosher Salt and Pepper
    instructions Rinse the quinoa in a strainer until the water runs clear. Combine the quinoa, 2 cups water, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a small saucepan, bring to a boil and cook until the water is absorbed and the quinoa is tender, about 15 minutes.
  • step 3
    ingredients 2 cups Red and Yellow Grape Tomatoes (halved)
    1 cup pitted Kalamata Olives
    2 Green Onions (green and pale green part; thinly sliced)
    2 Pickled Cherry Peppers (diced)
    1 small Red Onion (halved and thinly sliced)
    1/2 English Cucumber (cut into small dice)
    instructions Transfer the quinoa to a bowl, fluff with a fork and let sit for 5 minutes to cool slightly. Add the tomatoes, olives, green onions, cherry peppers, red onions, cucumbers and dressing, and toss to coat. 
  • step 4
    ingredients Feta (for sprinkling)
    instructions Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 8 hours before serving. The longer it sits the better the flavor. Just before serving, transfer to a platter and sprinkle feta on top.
