Prepare the quinoa salad: In a saucepan, bring the water and bouillon to a boil. Add the quinoa, lower the heat to low, cover, and cook until the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Move the quinoa to a bowl and let it cool slightly, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir the spinach into the quinoa and refrigerate until fully cooled, at least 30 minutes.

Make the dressing: In a bowl, whisk the almond oil, olive oil, vinegar, thyme, basil, garlic, and salt until the dressing is smooth.

Put the salad together: Stir the tomatoes, 1/2 of the feta cheese, and the dressing into the cooled quinoa until evenly coated. Sprinkle the remaining feta cheese and ground black pepper on top.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe
easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.
The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.
Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.
Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
