Why pay for a flight to Greece when you’re just one forkful away from (feeling like you’re) floating on the Mediterranean? Cook the quinoa, then toss all of the ingredients together in a big bowl for a tasty and filling salad (thanks to those fiber-rich lentils). Share it with your friends at a picnic this weekend or stash the leftovers away in meal-prep containers so you can enjoy it all week long.
