I try to like quinoa but I'm just having a hard time liking it! This recipe looks so yummy though! Will have to try it for sure!
ReplyDeleteYum! This is one of my favorite salads, ever since visiting Greece and having legitimate kalamata olives, feta + olive oil. So good and pretty healthy, too. How do you keep the avocado from browning when you make ahead?
ReplyDeleteThis looks heavenly! I love Greek salads! I'll have to try this :)
ReplyDeleteJust made a similar one recently with tomato, baby mozz, and asparagus!
ReplyDeleteMmmmm I need to try this!!
ReplyDeleteI did this last week and we were so obsessed with it. It carries great for lunches too.
ReplyDeleteThis week we were kind of burned out from Quinoa so I made the exact same salad but subbed in tortellini instead of quinoa and it is equally as delish.
I make this all the time, but leave out the olives. It’s such a good lunch and lasts all week!
ReplyDeleteYUMMMMM this looks amaze. Thanks for sharing, girlie! xx
