Author Notes

Greek Salad is one of my all-time favorite salads during the Summer months. Lately, I’ve been adding quinoa to my salads. It’s a great way to add protein to a salad, without adding meat. This Greek Quinoa Salad is so refreshing and gorgeous – it screams “SUMMER”. The lemony dressing adds an abundant of flavor and is a great change from the red wine dressing. —Malibu Kitchen
