I’m always changing this salad up. Here I used tomato, zucchini and olives for a Greek-inspired salad. Try adding a few more favorite fresh veggies you know your family will love.
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup quinoa, rinsed and well drained
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 medium zucchini, chopped
2 cups water
3/4 cup canned garbanzo beans or chickpeas, rinsed and drained
1 medium tomato, finely chopped
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/4 cup finely chopped greek olives
2 tablespoons minced fresh basil
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add quinoa and garlic; cook and stir 2-3 minutes or until quinoa is lightly browned. Stir in zucchini and water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, 12-15 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Stir in remaining ingredients; heat through. Yield: 4 servings.
