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.

If you are entertaining this summer, I highly suggest serving this salad. It can be prepared ahead of time and makes a healthy and delicious side dish.  Not to mention that it makes a great vegetarian dish, is low calorie, plus it is so simple and easy to make.

Normally, I entertain a lot during the summer. With a house that over looks the ocean, you can bet that we have lots of summer BBQ’s and pizza parties. Unfortunately, I have been so busy this summer, with travel, remodeling our boat, and helping my daughter start up her new spa business, that I have not had the chance to put any gatherings together thus far. But when I do, this Greek Quinoa Salad is going to be on the menu!
