Ingredients

4 servings

  • 2 cups water
  • 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules
  • 1 cup multi-colored quinoa
  • 2 cups roughly chopped spinach
  • 3 tablespoons almond oil
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons champagne vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 0.25 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3 on-the-vine tomatoes (such as Campari®), diced
  • 0.5 cup crumbled feta cheese, divided
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Prepare the quinoa salad: Bring water and bouillon to a boil in a saucepan. Add quinoa, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Transfer quinoa to a bowl and cool slightly, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir spinach into quinoa and refrigerate until completely cooled, at least 30 minutes.
  • Make the dressing: Whisk almond oil, olive oil, vinegar, thyme, basil, garlic, and salt together in a bowl until dressing is smooth.
  • Put the salad together: Stir tomatoes, 1/2 of the feta cheese, and dressing into cooled quinoa until evenly coated. Top with remaining feta cheese and ground black pepper.
