Mediterranean Quinoa Power Bowl

Instructions

1. 1

   Rinse the quinoa thoroughly under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup dry quinoa with 2 cups water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed and the quinoa is tender. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and let cool slightly.

2. 2

   While the quinoa is cooking, slice the roasted red peppers into strips, halve the cherry tomatoes, and pit and halve the kalamata olives if needed.

3. 3

   In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil and red wine vinegar to make the dressing.

4. 4

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, roasted red peppers, kalamata olives, cherry tomatoes, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped fresh oregano.

5. 5

   Drizzle the olive oil and red wine vinegar dressing over the mixture. Toss gently to combine and evenly coat all ingredients.

6. 6

   Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if desired. Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes for a colder bowl.
