Instructions to make Greek Style Quinoa Salad:
- Chop and place all of your veggies in a large bowl. I'm not a fan of olives, so I generally leave them out.
- Stir in the cooked quinoa and the drained and rinsed chickpeas.
- Whisk together all of the dressing ingredients.
- Pour the dressing over the quinoa and veggies and toss to evenly coat.
- That's it! I would recommend letting this chill for a couple of hours before eating, so the flavors have time to steep together. Store this in a large airtight container in the fridge. Or if meal prepping, go ahead and portion out the salad evenly into 6 individual sized containers.
- Serve it up with some feta cheese sprinkled over the top.
