3 ½ cups chicken broth
-
2 cups quinoa
-
1 cup halved grape tomatoes
-
¾ cup chopped fresh parsley
-
½ cup sliced pitted kalamata olives
-
½ cup minced red onion

3 tablespoons red wine vinegar

Instructions
In a saucepan, bring the broth and quinoa to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pan, and simmer until the quinoa becomes tender and all the liquid is absorbed, which should take about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat, transfer the quinoa to a large bowl, and allow it to cool for approximately 10 minutes.
Combine diced tomatoes, fresh parsley, kalamata olives, onions, feta cheese, olive oil, vinegar, and minced garlic into cooked quinoa. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the mixture, season with salt and pepper, and toss everything together. Refrigerate for 1 to 4 hours before serving.
