Ingredients

1 cup Quinoa
2 Limes zest and juice
2 oz Feta Cheese crumbled
2 oz Kalamata Olives chopped with brine
¼ cup Fresh Parsley stems removed and chopped

Instructions

After rinsing quinoa and preparing it to be cooked, in a medium saucepan, toast the quinoa on medium heat with cooking spray for 2-3 minutes.
Add 2 cups of low sodium chicken broth and bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to a low and simmer until all the liquid has been absorbed. (About 15-20 minutes). Set aside, away from the heat for 5 minute before uncovering and fluffing with a fork.
Start to combine the lime zest, juice, feta cheese, chopped olives and fresh parsley until well combined. Season with black pepper to taste.
