Weight Watchers Greek Grain Salad.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup cooked quinoa (or farro, barley, or bulgur – your choice of grain)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cucumber, diced
  • 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, sliced (optional, but adds a great punch)
  • 1/4 cup crumbled reduced-fat feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley or mint

For the dressing:

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • Juice of half a lemon

Instructions:

  1. In a large bowl, combine the cooked and cooled grain of your choice with cherry tomatoes, cucumber, onion, olives, and parsley.
  2. In a small jar or bowl, whisk together olive oil, vinegar, mustard, garlic, oregano, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  3. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
  4. Top with crumbled feta and chill for 15–30 minutes before serving (optional, but it helps the flavors blend).
  5. Enjoy cold or at room temperature!

💡 Tips:

  • Add grilled chicken or chickpeas for extra protein.
  • Swap feta for fat-free or plant-based cheese to reduce points.
  • Make ahead – this salad holds up great in the fridge for 2–3 days.
