I love cooking, especially creative vegetarian meals. Being married to someone that has to have "meat" with every meal, can be quite challenging to come up with vegetarian entrees that Michael would enjoy, especially with quinoa. However last night, Michael was at his monthly Poker Game, so I could make ANYTHING!
So I made a Greek Quinoa Salad. This easy, protein heavy, meal simply hits the spot with all its flavors.
Recipe follows:
Greek Quinoa Salad
1 serving of cooked quinoa
handful of baby kale
handful of diced cucumbers
handful of halved cherry tomatoes
a couple of rings of onions
1/3 can of chickpeas- drained and rinsed
1/4 cup of feta cheese
3 tbsp of lemon juice/ or a vinaigrette
2 tbsp of olive oil
1/2 tsp garlic
1/2 tsp oregano
Place the kale as your bottom layer. Next, mix all the ingredients thoroughly and spoon desire amount on top of the kale. Voila!
I made twice the amount so I could have some for lunch.
Enjoy!
