Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, feta cheese, fresh basil, and black olives. Mix gently to combine all the ingredients.
-
Drizzle the balsamic vinaigrette over the salad and toss everything together until evenly coated.
-
Season with salt and pepper according to your taste. Remember that the feta cheese and olives are already salty, so adjust the seasoning accordingly.
-
Allow the salad to sit for a few minutes to let the flavors meld together. This also gives the quinoa a chance to absorb some of the dressing, enhancing its taste.

Serve the Best Easy Lunch in a bowl or on a plate, as desired. You can enjoy it immediately or refrigerate it for a chilled option.
