PREPARATION

• 1

  Rinse the quinoa under cold water and combine with water in a small pot; bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer covered for 15 minutes.

• 2

  Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the ground beef, breaking it into small crumbles with a spatula.

• 3

  Season the beef with minced garlic, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper, cooking until the meat is browned and fully cooked through.

• 4

  While the beef and quinoa cook, dice the cucumber, halve the cherry tomatoes, and thinly slice the red onion.

• 5

  In a small bowl, whisk together the plain Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and finely chopped fresh dill to create a quick tzatziki sauce.

• 6

  Remove the quinoa from heat and fluff with a fork, then divide it into serving bowls.

• 7

  Top the quinoa with the seasoned ground beef, fresh vegetables, and crumbled feta cheese, then finish with a generous dollop of the yogurt sauce.
