Zesty Lemon Herb Quinoa Salad
Tender grilled chicken breast tossed with fluffy quinoa and crisp garden vegetables in a bright, zesty lemon-herb vinaigrette.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
0.75 cup cooked quinoa
0.5 cup diced cucumber
0.5 cup halved cherry tomatoes
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
0.5 tsp lemon zest
1 clove minced garlic
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp dried oregano
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast with half of the sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Grill or pan-sear the chicken over medium heat for 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked through, then let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into bite-sized pieces.
In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, and the remaining salt and pepper to create the dressing.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, and chopped fresh parsley.
Add the sliced chicken to the quinoa mixture and pour the lemon-herb dressing over the top.
Toss all ingredients together until well-coated and serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for a refreshing meal later.
