Instructions
Step 1
Cook the Quinoa: Rinse 1/2 cup of dry tricolor quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa with 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until all water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

Step 2
Prepare the Salad Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, diced chicken, red onion, cucumber, feta cheese, and spinach. Season with salt and pepper to taste.







Step 3
Dress the Salad: Drizzle the Ken's Steakhouse Lite Northern Italian dressing over the salad. Toss gently to combine all ingredients evenly.
