For an extra layer of flavor, toast the quinoa in a dry pan for 5 minutes before cooking. If you don't have champagne vinegar, red wine vinegar or lemon juice can be substituted. This salad can be prepared a day in advance, making it perfect for meal prepping.

StepMake the dressing: Whisk almond oil, olive oil, vinegar, thyme, basil, garlic, and salt together in a bowl until dressing is smooth.
03
StepPut the salad together: Stir tomatoes, 1/2 of the feta cheese, and dressing into cooled quinoa until evenly coated. Top with remaining feta cheese and ground black pepper.

May 28, 2025Make sure to let the quinoa cool completely before adding the spinach, otherwise it will get too soggy.
