Chickpea and Quinoa Salad with the Vegetables is a treat to our tastebuds. It's absolutely refreshing on any day. Not only is it easy to make, it's absolutely flavourful and delicious too.
Enjoy it for a yummy Brunch on a holiday or even as a lovely snack option for a 4 pm Tea-time. It's great for that choti moti bhook anytime. Though I have used dry Chickpeas, canned variety can also be used for a quick version of this Salad.
Vegetables can be of one's own choice. That's it. As easy as that. Quinoa takes less time in getting done than the Chickpeas. Both of them are amazing when combined. And with all those special Vegetables, it's a winner all the way.

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
