Mediterranean Quinoa Salad With Tomatoes and Cucumbers
Mediterranean quinoa salad is simple to make and loaded with texture and flavor. It is a perfect summer side dish featuring fresh tomatoes and cucumbers.
Cook quinoa according to package directions. Set aside to cool.
Put balsamic vinegar, olive oil and onions in a large bowl. Allow onions to soak for a couple of minutes. This will help to soften the onion flavor a bit.
When the quinoa is at room temperature, add remaining ingredients to the bowl. Toss to combine.
Adjust the salt and pepper to your taste then refrigerate until ready to serve.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Notes
Add a can of rinsed and drained chickpeas to the salad to make a hearty but light summer lunch.
