Mediterranean Quinoa Salad

Ingredients:

    Instructions:

  1. Cook the Quinoa:

    In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water or broth to a boil. Add quinoa, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the quinoa is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and let it cool.

  2. Prepare the Dressing:

    In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.

  3. Assemble the Salad:

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, chopped artichokes, halved grape tomatoes, sliced kalamata olives, crumbled bacon, and chopped parsley.

  4. Dress and Serve:

Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine. Adjust seasoning if needed. Let it sit for at least 15-30 minutes for the flavors to meld.

This salad is fresh, tangy, savory, and absolutely delicious. Enjoy!
