  2. Mix crabmeat, cucumber, tomatoes, and feta cheese together in a large bowl, add quinoa and stir. Whisk Greek salad dressing, lemon juice, and balsamic vinegar together in a separate bowl, drizzle over the quinoa mixture and stir to coat.

Recipe Note

Great and healthy salad for lunch or dinner! Imitation crab is okay for this recipe. It's best if made the night before.
