Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Refreshing Quinoa Summer Salad with Feta.
Step 1
To start your delicious quinoa dish, grab a saucepan and pour in 2 cups of water along with 1 cup of quinoa.
Step 2
Bring this mixture to a lively boil, and once you see those bubbles dancing, lower the heat to medium-low.
Step 3
Cover the saucepan and let it simmer gently for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until the quinoa is fluffy and the water has been fully absorbed.
Step 4
After cooking, take the saucepan off the heat and let the quinoa cool in a large bowl for around 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
Step 5
This cooling step is key to achieving the perfect texture.
Step 6
Once your quinoa has chilled, it’s time to bring in the flavor! Add in crumbled feta cheese, sliced cucumber, diced tomato, a splash of fresh lemon juice, a drizzle of cider vinegar, a touch of olive oil, a sprinkle of dried dill weed, and season with salt and black pepper.
Step 7
Gently stir everything together, allowing the vibrant ingredients to mingle and create a refreshing, tasty dish.
Step 8
Enjoy your creation, perfect for a light lunch or a delightful side at dinner!.
