    Ingredients:

    • 1 cup Quinoa, dry
    • 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
    • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
    • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
    • 1 teaspoon Fresh garlic, minced
    • 1 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 1/8 teaspoon ground white pepper
    • 1/4 cup Fresh red bell peppers, seeded, diced
    • 2 tablespoons Fresh green onions, diced
    • 2 tablespoons Fresh red onions, peeled, diced
    • 1/2 cup Fresh cherry tomatoes, halved
    • 1/8 cup Black olives, sliced
    • 2 tablespoons Feta cheese, crumbled
    • 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped

    Directions:

    1. Rinse quinoa in a fine mesh strainer until water runs clear, not cloudy. Combine quinoa and chicken broth in a small pot. Cover and bring to a boil. Turn heat down to low and simmer until broth is completely absorbed, about 10-15 minutes. When done, quinoa will be soft and a white ring will pop out of the kernel. The white ring will appear only when it is fully cooked. Fluff with a fork. A rice cooker may be used with the same quantity of quinoa and water. Cover and refrigerate.
    2. In a small mixing bowl, combine lemon juice, vinegar, garlic, olive oil, salt, and ground pepper to make dressing.
    3. Combine red peppers, green onions, red onions, tomatoes, and olives in a large mixing bowl. Mix well. 
    4. Add dressing to vegetable mixture. Mix in cooled quinoa. Fold in feta cheese and parsley. Cover and refrigerate for about 2 hours. Serve chilled.
