Shout out to my friend Jodi who opened my eyes to Qunioa in a salad. Quinoa is a fantastically healthy whole grain that adds depth and tooth to any salad.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes - tossed with olive oil and salt and roasted for 20 minutes at 450 degrees.
- 4 cups of baby spinach leaves
- 1/4 cup feta cheese
- 1 cup of cooked quinoa
Dressing:
- 1 T balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic (or 1 clove)
- 4 T olive oil
Preparation:
Follow directions on quinoa package and make it. Should only take about 20 mins. While quinoa is cooking, arrange spinach leaves, roasted tomatoes, and feta on a plate. Spoon on cooked quinoa (as much as you want). Drizzle with dressing.
