Total time: 30 min
Yield: 8
Ingredients: Lemon Dill Dressing:; 3/4 cup olive oil; 1/4 cup water; 2 tablespoons white vinegar; 1 clove garlic; 1/2 teaspoon salt; fresh lemon juice (to taste); a handful of fresh dill (to taste); a handful of fresh parsley (optional); Summer Salad Jars:; 2 cups quinoa(or other pasta, quinoa, couscous, etc.); 2 pints of grape tomatoes; 2 large cucumbers; 1–2 small jars of sun dried tomatoes or peppers (I used DeLallo brand); 1 cup feta cheese

I love dill, and I never measure it exactly. For those who do want to measure, I would guess my “handful” is equal to a loose 1/4 cup! Same for the parsley. This is also delicious made with whole wheat orzo or other cooked pasta! I like to add some finishing touches, too – extra salt and pepper, more lemon juice, fresh greens, and maybe some sunflower seeds for crunch! Yummy! You can totally add some cooked chickpeas, lentils, a piece of grilled chicken, fish, or shrimp added to the salad after it’s all mixed (as pictured). Personally I would wait to add the chicken/shrimp until just serving so the salad jars stay fresher for longer!
