Turkey and Quinoa Salad

Instructions

1. 1

   Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of quinoa with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the quinoa is tender and the water is absorbed.

2. 2

   While the quinoa is cooking, season the turkey breast with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the turkey breast and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.

3. 3

   Dice the cucumber and halve the cherry tomatoes. In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, sliced turkey, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and crumbled feta cheese.

4. 4

   In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lemon juice, and chopped parsley. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.

5. 5

   Season the salad with additional salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately or refrigerate for later.
