Mediterranean Quinoa Salad

I made extra quinoa - a lot of it. I needed more recipes to eat it up! I found a recipe and my sister and her family loved it! We finished the entire salad and wanted more! Here is the original recipe; below is what I used with what I had on hand.

Ingredients
  • 1-1.5 cup cooked quinoa
  • 1 cup tomato, sliced
  • 1 cucumber, sliced (my cucumber was rotten but I'll make sure I have it for next time!)
  • 1/4 cup olives
  • 1/4 cup feta, crumbled
  • 1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice (~1 lemon) 
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 clove garlic, grated
  • salt and pepper to taste
directions
  1. Mix all the ingredients together and refrigerate for at least one hour.
