I don't know if you have a Zoe's Kitchen in your area, but if you do and you haven't been there yet, YOU NEED to go there! It is so good and most of their options are much healthy than other alternatives out there. One of my favorite things to get there is the Quinoa Salad. It was soooo good that I wanted to be able to try and recreate it at home! With the help of a few other recipes I found online plus my own trial and error, here is my copy-cat Zoe's Kitchen Quinoa Salad recipe! (Btw, if you want to add on some chicken like I did, I just baked a small chicken breast with olive oil brushed on and some seasoning!)
Quinoa Salad
Serves: 4-6
3 cups Quinoa, cooked
1 Tablespoon Chopped Oregano
1 Cup Diced Tomatoes (I used cherry tomatoes cut in half)
1 Cup of Diced Cucumbers
1/2 Cup Chopped Green Onion
1/2 Cup Celery Diced
1 1/2 cups Blanched Broccoli (cut into bite size pieces)
1 cup black olives
2 – 3 Tablespoons Lemon Vinaigrette
Juice of Half a Lemon
1 tsp Zoës Spice of Life (or lemon pepper or Greek seasoning)
4 cups of Spring Mix
1/2 Cup Feta Cheese Crumbles (if desired)
Toss all ingredients together in a mixing bowl, except the feta cheese & spring mix, and mix well.
Place about 1 cup of spring mix in the center of each plate and portion prepared quinoa over the lettuce.
Top with feta cheese crumbles.
