Quinoa Feta Salad

I served this salad at Bishop's retreat 2026. I made way more than I thought would be necessary, but Dad said it was all gone and people wished there had been more. It is healthy and very delicious! Got it from Jocelyn. 

 

Cook the quinoa according to directions, but with extra water so that it is very soft and fluffy. 

Add in every color bell pepper and English cucumbers all chopped up. Add in chickpeas, and diced chicken if you want extra protein. Add in feta cheese and capers. 

Over this goes a homemade dressing of about a teaspoon of grated onion and a grated clove of garlic. (Grate these on a fine grater so that they're just pulverized). Whisk in red wine vinegar, salt to taste and a pinch of Italian herbs. Then whisk in evoo until it emulsifies, and pour over the quinoa salad and toss all together. Toss again right before serving. Probably best served the same day. You can leave the feta cheese out if you don't like it, but it is a delicious salad! 

Served at Bishop's retreat with sandwiches, grapes, and other snacks and drinks.
