Greek Chicken Quinoa Salad (Recipe)


Ingredients

  • 4-6 cups mixed leafy greens
  • 1-2 cups quinoa, uncooked
  • 1 organic rotisserie chicken, shredded (or 2 large chicken breasts, grilled/cooked)
  • 1 large bell pepper, seeded + thinly sliced
  • 1 cup mixed heirloom cherry tomatoes, cut in half
  • 1 small organic cucumber, chopped
  • ½ cup kalamata or green olives, option to pit/slice
  • Optional: high quality feta cheese, pine nuts or fresh herbs like dill/parsley/oregano


Dressing

  • ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • ¼ cup tahini
  • ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
  • Juice of 2 large lemons
  • 2 tbsp dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1½ tsp sea salt
  • fresh black pepper to taste

Instructions


1️⃣ Cook the quinoa according to package instructions. I like to cook a large batch (2 cups uncooked) to re-use for leftovers/other meals throughout the week.

2️⃣ ​If cooking/grilling chicken, begin as well.


3️⃣ ​While quinoa is cooking, whisk together dressing ingredients in a medium-sized bowl and set aside.


4️⃣ ​Chop and assemble veggies and set aside.


5️⃣ Once quinoa and chicken have cooked and cooled, layer large salad bowls with quinoa, chopped veggies, shredded chicken, herbs, pine nuts and optional feta cheese.


6️⃣ Drizzle or toss with dressing and serve.


7️⃣ Keep components separate (quinoa, veggies, dressing, etc.) in fridge to reuse/eat up throughout the week.



Enjoy!!!
