Homemade Quinoa Salad With Tuna, Vegetables, And Feta Cheese Recipe

Dish Overview

This special salad blends the wholesome goodness of quinoa with the lean protein of tuna, fresh crunchiness of cucumber, the creamy tang of feta cheese, and the crisp texture of cabbage. It's a dish that promises a burst of flavors and nutrients with every bite.

Preparing the Quinoa

Start by rinsing 150 grams of quinoa under cold water to remove any bitterness. Cook it according to the package instructions until it's fluffy and the water has been absorbed. Let it cool slightly before using it in the salad.

Preparing the Tuna

Use approximately 100 grams of canned tuna for this recipe. Drain the tuna well and flake it with a fork to prepare it for the salad.

Assembling the Salad

In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, flaked tuna, 50 grams of sliced cucumber, 30 grams of crumbled feta cheese, and around 50 grams of shredded cabbage. If desired, a dressing or oil can be added to taste, though the exact amount is up to personal preference.

Serving

Mix everything together gently until the ingredients are well distributed throughout the salad. This dish is best served fresh and can be enjoyed as a main meal or as a side dish to complement a variety of proteins.
