Directions
- Cook the quinoa in broth until tender, then remove from heat and let it steam for 5 minutes.
- Wash and dry the produce, and cut the pita into 2-inch pieces on a baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, zest the lemon and whisk in olive oil and the dried herbs to make a herb oil.
- Toss the pita with the herb oil and bake on the sheet until crisp, flipping halfway through, then set aside to cool.
- Whisk lemon juice into the yogurt with olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and pepper to form the dressing.
- Slice olives and add them to the dressing along with chopped shallot, cucumber, and bell pepper; add the edamame and toss to combine.
- To serve, divide the quinoa and the salad between plates or bowls, spoon on the edamame mixture, and crumble feta over the top; finish with pita chips on the side.
Two tips
- Make ahead: cook the quinoa and bake the pita chips earlier in the day and store separately.
- Swap idea: if you like a stronger brine, add more olives or serve with extra feta for a saltier finish.
