Steps:
- Bring the water, bouillon cubes, and garlic to a boil in a saucepan. Stir in the quinoa, reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the quinoa is tender and the water has been absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Discard the garlic clove and scrape the quinoa into a large bowl.
- Gently stir the chicken, onion, bell pepper, olives, feta cheese, parsley, chives, and salt into the quinoa. Drizzle with the lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, and olive oil. Stir until evenly mixed. Serve warm or refrigerate and serve cold.

MEDITERRANEAN QUINOA SALAD WITH SEASONAL VEGETABLES
Steps:
- Bring quinoa and 2 cups water to a boil in a medium pot over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender, about 15 minutes. Remove pot from heat and allow to stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork. Note: I like to cook the quinoa the day before and refrigerate so that it's already cold and prep time is lessened. Vinaigrette - In a medium bowl whisk together mustard, lemon juice, white wine vinegar, garlic, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Gradually whisk in olive oil. Set aside. Tip: I highly recommend roasted corn for this recipe as it adds just the right amount of sweetness. For the cool weather method, use frozen kernel corn, allow to thaw and drain off any water before adding to the roasting pan. See below for the cool weather method. In a large mixing bowl, combine cucumber, corn, tomatoes, onion, and parsley, and cooled quinoa. Add Vinaigrette to mixture and toss gently. Serve immediately or refrigerate covered until ready to serve. Roasted Vegetable Method for Cool Weather Months: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. While quinoa is cooking, add zucchini and onions to a medium mixing bowl, add 2 tablespoons vinaigrette and toss to coat. Place zucchini and onions on a 13x9x2" non-stick baking sheet or roasting pan. Spread the vegetables so they are not touching. Next, add tomatoes and corn to the same mixing bowl and add 2 tablespoons vinaigrette, toss gently to coat, set aside. Roast zucchini and onions, uncovered, for 20 minutes. Stir vegetables and add tomatoes and corn. Continuing roasting until tomatoes collapse, about 10 minutes. Remove vegetables and set aside. In a large skillet, over medium-low heat, add quinoa, remaining Vinaigrette, parsley, and additional salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, simmer 2 minutes. Add roasted vegetables to quinoa, toss to combine and cook an additional 2 minutes.

- Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit with racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven. Line two large, rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Divide the eggplant, zucchini and yellow squash between the two baking sheets. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and toss. Add a little more if necessary; you want enough to lightly coat the vegetables. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast until the veggies are softened and beginning to brown, about 20 to 30 minutes. Set the roasted vegetables aside to cool.
- To cook the quinoa, combine the uncooked quinoa with 2/3 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to boil over medium-high heat, then cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer until the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes, then remove from heat and let the quinoa steam with the lid on for 5 minutes. Remove lid, fluff the quinoa with a fork and set aside.
- To toast the pine nuts, cook them in a small skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until they’re turning lightly golden and fragrant, about 5 to 10 minutes. Be sure to keep an eye on them so they don’t burn. Transfer to a bowl to cool.
