Quinoa with Sun Dried Tomatoes and Feta

Ingredients

• FOR THE QUINOA:
• 1-½ cup Quinoa
• 3 cups Water
• 10 whole Sun-Dried Tomatoes, Chopped
• ⅓ cups Crumbled Feta Cheese
• 2 Tablespoons Freeze-dried Basil Or 1 Tablespoon Fresh Chopped Basil
• FOR THE DRESSING:
• 4 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 3 Tablespoons Fresh Lemon Juice
• Salt And Pepper, to taste

Preparation Instructions

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the water and quinoa. Bring to a vigorous boil. Reduce heat, cover and let simmer until quinoa is tender, about 15 minutes.

Remove from heat and fluff up with a fork. Transfer the quinoa to a large bowl and mix in the sun-dried tomatoes, feta, and basil.

Make the dressing by placing all ingredients in a small bowl; whisk together until thoroughly combined. Pour the dressing over the quinoa, toss, and serve.

Notes: Use the dry sun-dried tomatoes and not the ones that come in a jar with oil.
