Instructions

  1. 1

    Rinse the quinoa under cold water and drain.

  2. 2

    In a medium saucepan, combine quinoa and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until all water is absorbed.

  3. 3

    While quinoa cooks, season the chicken breasts with olive oil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat and grill chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until cooked through and juices run clear. Let chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing.

  4. 4

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, sliced olives, and crumbled feta cheese.

  5. 5

    Slice the grilled chicken and place it on top of the salad mixture.

  6. 6

    Drizzle with lemon juice and toss gently to combine all ingredients.

  7. 7

    Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your vibrant Quinoa Greek Salad!
