For the Salad
  • 1 cup quinoa rinsed
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 red bell pepper diced
  • 1 zucchini diced
  • 1 red onion diced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese crumbled
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped
For the Dressing
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Toss the diced red bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Spread the vegetables on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, until tender and slightly browned.
  3. While the vegetables roast, rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the quinoa, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper to make the dressing.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, roasted vegetables, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped parsley. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
  6. Serve the salad warm or chilled.
