Scale

- 2 cups chopped cucumbers (one should be enough)
- 1/2 cup chopped kalamata olives
DRESSING:
- olive oil

- lemon juice
Instructions
- Cook the quinoa according to package directions. While the quinoa cooks, chop all your veggies.
- Toss everything together!
- Dress to taste with olive oil, salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
Notes
This is so so so versatile. Add whatever you like. I actually kept it in the fridge for three days AFTER being tossed together and it was still really tasty. Just ate it for lunch today, actually. 🙂 It resembles tabbouleh in texture so it’s not a big deal if it sops together for a day or two. Also, if you want to liven it up, just toss in a handful of greens.
