1 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

1/4 teaspoon pepper (freshly ground)

1 1/2 cups grape tomatoes, (halved)

步骤

Prepare Pickled Onions:

Combine vinegar, sugar, and salt in a pint sized jar or small bowl.

Microwave for 45 to 60 seconds, or until hot. Stir until sugar and salt are dissolved.

Add red onions, pressing down to submerge in hot liquid. Cover and set aside to pickle for at least 30 minutes.

Prepare Quinoa:

Combine quinoa, 2 cups water, and 1 teaspoon salt in a medium pot over high heat.

Bring to a boil, then cover pot and reduce heat to low. Cook for 15 to 18 minutes, or until water is absorbed and quinoa is tender.

Remove from heat, then fluff with a fork. Set aside to cool slightly before using.

Prepare Dressing:

Add olive oil, lemon juice, honey, salt, and pepper to a jar (or bowl).

Cover jar and shake vigorously until ingredients are combined and dressing looks thick and creamy (or whisk together if using a bowl).

Season to taste with additional salt and pepper, if desired. Set aside.

Assemble Salad:

Combine quinoa, tomatoes, cucumber, feta, olives, basil, 1/2 cup pickled onions (drained), and 1/4 cup dressing in a large bowl. Mix well.

Taste, then add additional dressing, salt, and pepper to taste (if needed).

Gently mix in arugula.

Serve salad immediately. Enjoy!
