Healthy Greek Quinoa Salad Bowls

I love a warm bowl that’s hearty enough to serve as lunch or dinner. This Greek Quinoa Salad bowl does just the trick to fill you up in a delicious and healthy way. I pack my with extra herbs for flavor and nutrients.

Feta Cheese

Tomatoes

How to Make Quinoa 

With Quinoa as your base, this Greek Quinoa Bowl is warm and hearty. When cooking quinoa, ensure you rinse thoroughly. I use a handheld strainer like this one.

You’ll bring equal cups quinoa and water to a boil before simmering for 15-20 minutes or following the package instructions. If you’re looking for a more flavorful quinoa you can use vegetable broth or chicken broth as a substitute for water. 

Simmer until the quinoa has absorbed all liquid and is light and fluffy. 

How to Make Greek Quinoa Bowls

Using the quinoa as a base for your bowl, start by scooping quinoa into your bowl first. Add in your favorite ingredients from the list above. 

You can leave the ingredients separate (my personal favorite) or you can toss with the quinoa until all ingredients are evenly mixed. I also love adding handfuls of my favorite herbs. For this I enjoy a mix of chopped basil and cilantro. You can also use parsley, mint and oregano. 

Serve dry with hummus or with a dressing. You can can also pack for lunch. This is one of Bailey’s favorite lunches that I pack for her for school in a glass container. 

Greek Salad Dressing

This bowl can be made with or without a dressing. It depends on your tastes! I like to eat this bowl with just a delicious hummus and a little lemon juice and extra virgin olive oil. 

You can also mix up this quick and easy dressing in your food processor for the perfect complement to your Greek Quinoa Salad Bowl. With Lemon and Oregano it will add a bit of brightness to your salad.
