Ingredients:
- 1 cup red quinoa
- 2 cups water
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 zucchini, diced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Rinse the red quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the quinoa, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it cool.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the diced red bell pepper, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat the vegetables evenly. Roast in the oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked and cooled red quinoa, roasted vegetables, red onion, feta cheese, and fresh parsley.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to combine.
- Season with additional salt and pepper to taste, if needed.
- Serve chilled and enjoy!
