Greek Quinoa Salad with Balsamic Vinegar and Feta Cheese

What a great way to eat more quinoa with all the bright flavors of a quinoa salad.

You can’t go wrong with a Greek quinoa salad! It makes a great side dish for any occasion.

I have always been a huge fan of Greek quinoa salads, it was just about getting a recipe in writing instead of “a little this, a little that” like I usually cook.

This is the perfect blend of zip, saltiness, and freshness.

If you're wanting this to be vegetarian make sure you find a feta cheese that's made with a vegetal rennet, or you can opt for a tofu version of feta!
