About Quinoa mediterranean salad

Quinoa Mediterranean Salad is a vibrant, nutritious dish inspired by the flavors of the Mediterranean region. Packed with wholesome ingredients, this salad features fluffy quinoa as the base, paired with fresh cucumbers, juicy cherry tomatoes, red onions, kalamata olives, and crumbled feta cheese. A tangy lemon-olive oil dressing ties the flavors together, while fresh parsley adds a pop of herbaceous brightness. Quinoa, a superfood rich in protein and fiber, makes this salad an excellent option for a light yet satisfying meal. The inclusion of vegetables provides valuable vitamins and antioxidants, while healthy fats from olives and olive oil support heart health. Though the feta cheese contributes calcium and flavor, it also adds sodium, so moderation is key for certain dietary needs. Perfect as a side dish or standalone meal, this salad offers a balanced blend of taste and health benefits rooted in Mediterranean culinary tradition.
