Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups quinoa
  • 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cucumber, diced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 red onion, diced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup olives, sliced
  • 1/4 cup parsley, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the quinoa according to package instructions, using a 2:1 ratio of water to quinoa. Bring it to a boil and then let it simmer until all the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Fluff with a fork and let it cool.
  2. Combine the cooled quinoa, chickpeas, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, diced red onion, and bell pepper in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Prepare the dressing by whisking together olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until emulsified.
  4. Dress the quinoa salad mixture with the dressing and toss gently to combine.
  5. Divide the salad into meal prep containers. This dish can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Notes

Add feta cheese or parsley right before serving to maintain freshness. Substitute vegetables or grains as preferred.
