No reviews

This is a beautiful, fresh, tasty and easy Greek quinoa salad with feta cheese. It works well as a main course if you follow a plant-based diet but also as a delicious accompaniment to other meals too.

This high protein quinoa recipe is best made with the pre-cooked quinoa in the packets as this also saves a lot of time but you could easily make your own if you preferred too. You could also play around and make it with puy lentils or bulgar wheat too.
