Greek Mediterranean

Quinoa Greek Salad is a modern twist on the classic Greek salad, incorporating the ancient grain quinoa for added protein and texture. This dish originated in the health-conscious culinary world, where chefs sought to create a nutritious and satisfying salad option. The combination of crisp cucumbers, juicy tomatoes, briny olives, tangy feta cheese, and a zesty lemon vinaigrette perfectly complements the nutty flavor of quinoa. This salad has gained popularity in Mediterranean-inspired restaurants and health food cafes, particularly in regions with a focus on fresh, local ingredients. For the best version of this dish, look for ripe, flavorful tomatoes and high-quality feta cheese. Some chefs also add fresh herbs like mint or dill for an extra burst of flavor.
