A vibrant and nutritious bowl filled with quinoa, chickpeas, fresh vegetables, and a tangy dressing, perfect for lunch or dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cucumber, diced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 red onion, diced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • ½ cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • ¼ cup olives, pitted and chopped
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Start by cooking the quinoa according to package instructions. Typically, you’ll combine one part quinoa with two parts water in a saucepan and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes. Once cooked, fluff it with a fork and let it cool.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cooled quinoa, drained chickpeas, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, diced red onion, and diced bell pepper.
  3. Next, sprinkle in the crumbled feta cheese and chopped olives.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
  5. Pour the dressing over the quinoa mixture and mix well to ensure everything gets coated.
  6. Finally, garnish your bowl with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

This dish is perfect for meal prep; store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Keep the dressing separate until ready to eat to avoid sogginess.
