Greek Quinoa and Avocado Salad
A quick and easy Greek-inspired quinoa salad, perfect for Meatless Monday or any other day of the week!
Greetings from Iowa! I have flown from San Francisco to Des Moines to join a handful of my favorite bloggers for the 2013 Iowa CornQuest where I’ll be exploring the journey of how one food product makes its journey from “field to fork”. I’ll be sure to take many many photos as I’ll be out and about in the corn fields but until then, I must share my new favorite quinoa salad.
This Greek inspired quinoa salad has been in constant rotation at our house. It’s so easy to make and it has so many fun veggies like fresh kale leaves and cherry tomatoes, wonderfully complementing the creamy notes of crumbled feta and crunchy pine nuts. It’s incredibly light, hearty and the perfect refreshing meatless salad for any day of the week!

If I don’t add the feta cheese and onions would the nutrition value be for a single serving?

This thing is really good. Like I was packing it for lunch and ate part of it while packing it. I didn’t add the onions or feta, but damn. I also put spring mix in, I don’t know why, but it is good.

You are too sweet, Averie! I’m always self-conscious when I post salads because I always have to photograph it in a bowl! And it’s always the same bowl because I play favorites. #foodbloggerproblems

Perfect for the vegans in my household, and something I can enjoy too – (or add bacon to).
Bacon would definitely be a wonderful addition in this!
