Delicious, super easy and super healthy Quinoa Salad

I have been trying to add quinoa in most salads to get the best nutrients from this amazing seed. I have to admit, it tastes so much better in salads with some feta cheese, tomatoes etc. Here is a version that I tried recently and it is a hit in our household.

Quinoa salad with Feta, Tomato, Cucumber and Walnuts

Recipe and Ingredients:

1/2 cup quinoa - enough for 2
1 cup boiling water

Or use the boiling method as mentioned on the quinoa pack.

1/2 cup cubed cucumber
1/2 cup - chopped cherry tomatoes
250 gm - greek feta cheese
10-12 walnuts or roasted peanuts
Few sprigs of fresh mint chopped

Dressing:
6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 
1 pinch sea salt 
1 pinch freshly ground black pepper 
Juice of 1 lemon
1 tsp honey 

Method:

- Boil the quinoa for 15-20 minutes until cooked. Fluff it up with a help of a fork
- Let the quinoa cool down completely before adding the veg
- Once the quinoa is cooled, transfer it in a bowl, add tomatoes, cucumber, feta, chopped mint and walnuts or peanuts
- Mix the ingredients for the dressing and whisk it well. Pour it just before eating or let everyone pour some as they please.
