Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup quinoa (rinsed)
  • 2 cups vegetable broth or water
  • 1 can (15-ounce) chickpeas (rinsed and drained)
  • ½ cup fresh parsley (finely chopped)
  • ¼ cup fresh mint (finely chopped)
  • ¼ cup fresh dill (finely chopped)
  • 3–4 green onions (thinly sliced)
  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • ¼ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1–2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • Sea salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Rinse quinoa under cold water to remove bitterness. In a medium pot, combine quinoa and broth or water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer covered for about 15 minutes until fluffy.
  2. While the quinoa cooks, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, salt, and pepper in a small bowl to create the dressing.
  3. Once cooked, fluff the quinoa with a fork and let cool slightly. Stir in chickpeas, parsley, mint, dill, green onions, and dressing until everything is well combined.
  4. Serve warm or chill to enjoy later as a refreshing salad.
