Quinoa Salad
One cup of Quinoa (cooking instructions should be on container)
While the quinoa cooks, add the juice/zest of 1 lemon to a big bowl, along with the 1 teaspoon oregano(you can also use basil), ¾ teaspoon salt, and about ¼ teaspoon of pepper. Add in ¼ cup of olive oil.
Add fully cooked quinoa to bowl and stir until mix is fully combined. WAIT UNTIL COOL TO ADD VEGGIES (they get soggy otherwise that wasn’t fun to find out)
Cut one cucumber into quarters
Add olives to liking (I recommend cutting in half but whole works just as good)
Add a can of dry rinsed chickpeas
Put some basil on top and if you’re feeling fancy you can add feta or mozzarella cheese in tiny pieces
Perfect for hot days :)
