Roasted Vegetable Quinoa Salad
🥕 Ingrédients
- Feta cheese: this salad would also work great with parmesan cheese. Leave out the cheese for a dairy-free version.
- Parsley: this recipe is best with fresh parsley, not dried. You can also use other herbs like fresh basil, oregano or dill.
👨🍳 Instructions
- Cook the quinoa according to package directions. For extra flavour, use vegetable or chicken broth instead of water. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and optionally line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
- Place the cherry tomatoes, zucchini, peppers, and red onion on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with Italian seasoning, and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
- Roast the vegetables for 25–30 minutes, or until tender and lightly browned.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, roasted vegetables, parsley, and feta.
- Squeeze the lemon juice over top and toss gently to combine. Taste and adjust with more salt and pepper, if needed.
- Serve warm or chilled.
