Mediterranean Quinoa Salad Recipe | Healthy Mediterranean Salad!

[@TheMediterraneanDish]

Did you know that quinoa is rich in protein, fiber, and various vitamins and minerals?? This Mediterranean Quinoa Salad recipe is packed with crunchy bell peppers, crisp cucumbers, and the briny flavors of feta and kalamata olives. Who's trying it?!

[@TheMediterraneanDish]

And if you don't love the taste of quinoa... look out for the quinoa tip in the video!

[@sophiemorrison9820]

Anything with feta is right up my alley. I just bought some English cucumbers and yellow and orange peppers yesterday. I have everything I need and can't wait to try it. Thank you for this.

[@TheMediterraneanDish]

I am so glad! Enjoy! @@sophiemorrison9820

I made this for the first time this evening for something to take to work for the week. I think this is going to be a regular staple in my fridge. The quinoa has a nice texture and just the right amount of chewiness, good crunch from the veggies. Awesome! When I made mine I made the dressing while the quinoa was on the stove. Once it was cooked I dumped it in on the dressing and gave it a good mix, then put it in the fridge for about 20 minutes to cool down a bit. When I started all of my chopping, I'd chop something up, get the bowl out of the fridge, put whatever I chopped in the bowl, mixed it up, then back in the fridge. Rinse and repeat until everything was chopped. Once all assembled it was back into the fridge for about an hour so flavors could marry a bit. Amazing!!

[@audreybraggs7567]

Hey! When you made it was the bitterness from the lemons real strong?

[@jeremyjohnson7201]

@@audreybraggs7567 Not at all. In fact the flavors from everything complimented each other nicely. I was pretty careful with the lemon zest though. I only got the yellow part so I was left with a white lemon to squeeze.

I am addicted to this salad!.thank you

[@shanewilliams02]

This is a winner. Made this today with leftover quinoa. Added some chickpeas and subbed shallot since I didn't have green onion on-hand and then topped with shrimp. So easy, versatile and delicious

[@dolphy595]

I used veg broth and added some minced garlic...its absolutely amazing

[@rajeshr8887]

I would always wait for the quinoa to reach room temperature before mixing it with the vegetables, else the vegetables start to cook by absorbing the heat from the quinoa making it soggy and loosing it’s crunch, the left over salad can’t be stored in the refrigerator as a result. Otherwise an amazing recipe! Feta cheese is a bit on the salty side, be cautious while seasoning the salad.

Thanks for this Suzy. I was looking for a a great quinoa recipe. Happy to have one from you😊

[@rozina246]

Hot quinoa will make the vegetables less crunchy. So, better let it cool down then add.

Do you use rosemary in mediterranen dishes?

[@CristiDaisuke]

For some who have lemon allergy like myself, what would be a good replacement instead of the lemon?

[@FleetwoodPatch]

Okay, I just got back from Trader Joe’s. Let’s do dis!!!!

[@karab5708]

Hi! I like your blouse on your youtube, looks so nice! could you tell me where you bought it? thank you!

[@findsharon]

I use low sodium chicken stock instead of water to cook quinoa. It adds a little flavor.

[@Gen_XGal]

How long can it last in the fridge ?

[@bolpol403]

super,

[@shug6645]

Rinse the soap out the kinwa yall. Use slightly less water than recommended (like 36% less) bring to boil. Cover 4 20. ¿Uncover?Take off heat. Rest for like 30. Then fluff with fork. If it starts to clump up leave it to cool however long it takes to be forkable.

[@elizabethsummermeado]

Says this recipe serves 8. Does anyone know if the nutrition listed for recipe is for whole bowl or for each "serving?"

Can this quinoa salad be frozen?

No, I wouldn't freeze it. It's best to eat this fresh.

Great recipe! Thank you. I will definitely try it. I hope you will not mind me sharing my feelings about seeing you wiping your hands on your pants -the areas where you have likely sat on a chair- and then touching the food again… I had a gut reaction of yuck. I do not mean to be rude or offensive but I thought it might be helpful. I have seen other clips of yours and I think they’re wonderful and so are you. 😊

[@marscairil2133]

Hello 🌎😍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍❤️

[@demetrapetrou8527]

Thank you. 🍄 May I notice that you don’t use a towel to clean your hands on … you rather prefer cleaning them on your wonderful pants ‼️🫣

[@sandyflores2656]

I'm one of those people who thinks quinoa has a weird almost bleach-like taste so thanks for the tip!

[@sandyflores2656]

Also today I'm making your Italian Lentil Soup and Sheet Pan Shrimp so it's a GOOD day. :)

[@karynstouffer3562]

The rinsing is definitely important. Quinoa tastes soapy to me without rinsing. I usually cook it in broth, and that makes it even better. You can season it while it cooks, as well. Use whatever spices you want. We like garlic, green onions, cumin and oregano, and sometimes I'll put a seasoning blend in it, like Mrs Dash everything bagel, garlic and herb, or onion and herb.

[@TheMediterraneanDish]

I hope you try out the tip!! And wonderful! Enjoy🙌

There's something magical about your food. I appreciate your efforts; I was wondering if you could share a video of you cooking with KHAL viewers 🥰😘🤩 *******
