Quinoa Feta Spinach Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Bring water and bouillon to a boil in a saucepan. Add quinoa, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Transfer quinoa to a bowl and cool slightly, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir spinach into quinoa and refrigerate until completely cooled, at least 30 minutes.
• Whisk almond oil, olive oil, vinegar, thyme, basil, garlic, and salt together in a bowl until dressing is smooth.
• Stir tomatoes, 1/2 of the feta cheese, and dressing into cooled quinoa until evenly coated; top with remaining feta cheese and ground black pepper.

Steps:

• Cook the quinoa according to pack instructions.
• Drain well then toss with the oil, vinegar, garlic and cumin while still warm and season.
• Toss through the rest of the ingredients and serve.

Steps:

• Rinse the quinoa in a strainer.
• In a small saucepan, add the quinoa and 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then cover and reduce heat to simmer until water is absorbed, about 10-15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat a skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil and garlic and onion.
• Cook the garlic in the oil until the edges of the garlic turns very light brown, being careful not to burn the garlic (reduce heat to low if necessary).
• When the quinoa is done cooking, add it to the skillet along with the spinach.
• Stir it together until the spinach wilts.
• Add the crumbled feta cheese and stir to combine. Makes 2 servings.

Steps:
