Camping Recipe: MEDITERRANEAN QUINOA SALAD

This salad became a staple in my camping trips: delicious, healthy and easy to make! And if you have a fridge in your car like I do, leftovers are even better!

INGREDIENTS (2 serves): 

  • 2 cups uncooked quinoa
  • 1 onion
  • 1 big red capsicum
  • 1 cucumber
  • 2 cups chickpeas
  • 1 cup kidney beans
  • 1 cup kalamata olives
  • 1/2 cup sundried tomatoes
  • 1 cup feta cheese
  • basil to taste (fresh or dried)
  • oil and vinegar to taste
  • salt and pepper to taste

When you have set camp:

Sauté the onion until the edges are golden, then add your bell pepper, chopped. Cook till soft.

In the meanwhile, cook the quinoa.

Once cooked, in a mixing bowl, add all the ingredients.

Add the condiments…

and enjoy!
