Mediterranean Quinoa Salad

My go-to salad lately has been arugula topped with Mediterranean veggies and quinoa for some plant-based protein that keeps me feeling full & satisfied. It comes together quickly and tastes delicious - especially with a drizzle of my homemade dressing.


Salad 

Ingredients

1 cup arugula

1 cup cooked quinoa

3 cherry tomatoes, sliced

6 kalamata olives, chopped

1/4 cucumber, peeled & cut into quartered slices

2 tbsp crumbled feta

shake of Mediterranean seasoning blend (basil, thyme, oregano, etc)


Directions

Layer all ingredients in a large bowl and top with dressing. 


Dressing 

Ingredients

1/4 cup olive oil

1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

1 tbsp dijon mustard

salt & pepper to taste


Directions

Combine all ingredients in a blender and mix until smooth. Keep remaining prepared dressing in the refrigerator in a tightly closed container, such as a mason jar.
