Greek Quinoa Salad


I made this the other day for a BBQ. It's healthy, delicious, and super easy to make. I had all of the ingredients on hand making it even easier. It's a delicious way to spice up quinoa, and make a traditional pasta salad better for you.


INGREDIENTS

3 cups cooked quinoa (1 cup uncooked)
1 cucumber
1/4 Red Onion
1 large tomato or 2 small
1 red pepper
1 green pepper
Feta or Mozzerella Cheese
Olive Oil
Red Wine Vinegar
Balsamic Vinegar
Salt & Pepper
Garlic

Cut all of the vegatables up into small bite size chunks. Add Salt and Pepper to taste. Add cooked Quinoa. Mix in about 1/4-1/2 cup feta cheese. I used both feta and mozzerella. Both work great. I diced the mozzerella up into small pieces. Then add a little oil and vinegar to taste. I use a small amount of balsamic vinegar and then a lot of red wine. It turns out quite tasty!
