Healthy Greek Quinoa Salad Recipe

By -Tam | Food Apparel 4 Comments

Greek Quinoa Salad at FoodApparel.com

So, I guess I’m on a little bit of a Quinoa kick lately! It’s just such a nice light grain, and it can substitute from anywhere to rice to pasta dishes. Very versatile, I say!

Anyway, I was hosting a baby shower a couple of weeks ago and was in charge of some of the lunch items. I had this Greek Salad that I was throwing together and I thought, hey, why not throw some quinoa into the mix. The birth of a delicious and nutritious Greek Quinoa Salad. My friends, it worked out really well! And once again, you don’t have to have any guilt when you’re done eating.

    Yum! I’ve always loved Greek salad. Just the epitome of refreshing spring/summer dining. I’ve never tried it with quinoa, though. I’ll definitely have to give this a shot — I’m sure I would love it!
