This makes for a protein packed, fresh lunch. Perfect for if you have some leftover quinoa sitting in the fridge. It keeps for a few days, so it's good for meal prepping. It's also easy to customize it to your liking. If you're not a fan of quinoa, I'm betting this would be really good as a pasta salad, or over some chopped romaine. If you'd like to take the 'bite' out of the raw onions, then soak them in some cold water for a few minutes before adding them.

Steps

1

Chop and place all of your veggies in a large bowl. I'm not a fan of olives, so I generally leave them out.
2

Stir in the cooked quinoa and the drained and rinsed chickpeas.
3

Whisk together all of the dressing ingredients.
4

Pour the dressing over the quinoa and veggies and toss to evenly coat.
5

That's it! I would recommend letting this chill for a couple of hours before eating, so the flavors have time to steep together. Store this in a large airtight container in the fridge. Or if meal prepping, go ahead and portion out the salad evenly into 6 individual sized containers.
6

Serve it up with some feta cheese sprinkled over the top.

I love to bake and to try out new recipes! I'm always on the lookout for simple dinners for busy weeknights. A lot of the recipes I post on here are ones I've found on Pinterest or from different bloggers, and that I've tried and really enjoyed, but I always reference to where I got the recipe from in the recipe description and the pictures are my own. If there's no source listed, then it's a rare recipe that I came up with. I have two wonderful kids and I hope to pass on my love of cooking and baking to them.
