Red Quinoa is becoming increasingly popular lately but I don’t normally cook with it for one reason. My husband hates it! So I’ve been scratching my head here trying to figure out how to get him to eat his quinoa, because let’s face it we all know that quinoa is highly rich in nutrients. But no matter how healthy quinoa and how good it may be for you, I just couldn’t convince him to eat it. Until now! He loves Greek salads, he’ll buy them or make them any chance he gets, so I thought to myself, “Self, what if I combine his favorite Greek salad with quinoa and some chicken and make a Greek chicken red quinoa salad?”. Sometimes I amaze myself. It’s a brilliant idea. The addition of the chicken adds more protein to the dish, thereby turning this into an actual meal than just a side dish. Now it took me some convincing to actually get him to try this, but here’s the thing. This salad is loaded with so many other goodies, chicken, feta cheese, Kalamata olives, tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion and one simple yet amazingly delicious dressing, you don’t even taste the quinoa. So whether you love quinoa or not, this salad is so good for you. I could eat this salad for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
