Tomato Cucumber Feta Quinoa Salad with spoon in a large serving bowl

Every year, when it’s time to plant my garden, I admit I get a little carried away with tomatoes. I typically plant a generous 10 to 12 tomato plants, and by the end of summer, our kitchen is overflowing with their juicy goodness. We find ourselves incorporating fresh tomatoes into nearly every meal – a true testament to the joy of homegrown produce.

This tradition became even more special recently. My son, Will, joined me in the garden, and the first thing he happily recalled was how much he loved eating the sweet cherry tomatoes directly from the vine last year. It’s moments like these that make the effort of gardening so rewarding and inspire dishes that celebrate fresh, simple ingredients.

If you also find yourself with an abundance of fresh, ripe vegetables as the warmer months unfold, this Tomato Cucumber Feta Quinoa Salad is an absolute must-make. It’s one of my favorite easy salad recipes and a staple in my weekly meal prep routine. I love how effortlessly fresh vegetables combine with fluffy quinoa, salty feta cheese, fragrant fresh herbs, and a vibrant, light dressing. This quinoa cucumber tomato salad is also incredibly versatile, making it easy to adapt to whatever fresh produce or pantry staples you have on hand.

Summer calls for light, refreshing, and flavorful salads on repeat. Beyond this quinoa sensation, some of my other go-to recipes include the crisp and tangy Persian Tomato Cucumber Salad, the simple yet delicious Easy Lebanese Salad, and the delightful Summer Orzo Pasta Salad. Each offers a unique burst of flavor, perfect for warm weather dining.

If you’re a fan of quinoa salads, you’ll be thrilled to explore more options from my collection. Be sure to check out the viral Jennifer Aniston Salad, the classic flavors of my Greek Quinoa Salad, or the wholesome goodness of this Mediterranean Quinoa Salad. Each recipe highlights quinoa’s incredible versatility and nutritional benefits.
