Ingredients and Preparation Tips

Here’s what you need for the salad:

1 cup cooked quinoa
Diced cucumber
Diced red onion
Chopped pistachios
1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/2 cup chopped fresh mint
Crumbled feta cheese

Dressing

1/4 cup olive oil
Lemon juice (equal parts acid to oil)
Minced garlic (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation Tips

The night before I prep this salad, I will make a meal with quinoa as a side for dinner. Make extra quinoa to have plenty left over to make the salad the next day. By the time it’s time to mix the salad, the bulk of the cooking is already done and the quinoa is pre-chilled.

To add more flavor, use broth to cook the quinoa.

Consider pan roasting the chickpeas before mixing them into your salad.

Store the homemade dressing in a mason jar. It stays good for a week in the fridge. Use it for dressings and toppings throughout the week.

Use a mixing bowl with a lid to toss the salad together.
