It has been awhile since I have blogged about my recipes. Mainly because I have been traveling - for both work and pleasure. But I also have been metamorphosing into the next chapter in my life. I am not sure what it will be but I know that my job no longer feels authentic or fulfilling; I have amazing friends who love me just a few states away and I could use more of their presence in my life; and I am ready for change. So while I am not sure what my next steps will be in life, I know that those steps are imminent.
Having gotten back from vacation in OR where I met up with my old high school friend, and having eaten fresh food made from the land while I was out there, when I got home I was inspired to make something simple yet fresh. This Greek Quinoa Salad is full of flavor, nutrients, and love. The combination of fiber and protein from the cheese, quinoa, artichokes, and peppers will keep you full while the healthy fats from the olives will help fight belly bulge. Vinegar for the dressing will rev your metabolism. This salad will have your body saying 'thank you!' :-)
Greek Quinoa Salad:
- 1 c quinoa (cooked according to package directions)
- 1 can artichokes, sliced
- 1/2 red pepper, sauteed with onions and garlic
- 10-15 kalamata olives, sliced
- 1/3 c feta cheese, crumbled
- white wine vinegar, to taste
- garlic powder, to taste
- salt, to taste
