Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cup quinoa
• 2 water [or chicken broth]
• salt
• 1 heaping cup cucumber, quartered
• 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1/4 heaping cup Kalamata olives, sliced

• 1 lemon, juiced
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar [or red wine vinegar]
• 2 garlic cloves, minced

Directions

In a medium pot, bring 2 cups of water [or chicken broth] and quinoa to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cover, 16-18 minutes. When all the water is absorbed, remove and fluff with a fork.

In a large bowl, combine cucumber, tomatoes, kalamata olives, red onions, and green onions.

Dressing: whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, white wine vinegar, garlic and salt + pepper.

Drizzle a little bit of the dressing over quinoa/vegetable mixture, a little at a time.

Note: before adding in the cheese, be sure to ask if any of your guests have allergies or sensitivities to dairy.

Season with salt + pepper, top with cheese, serve and enjoy!
