This fresh, vibrant salad made with quinoa, chickpeas, cucumber, pistachios, red onions, and feta topped with a light lemon vinaigrette is fresh, satisfying, and crunchy. Viral for a reason!

Ingredients
For the Salad:
- ½ red onion diced
- 1 ½ cups quinoa see How to Cook Quinoa, cooked, cooled
- 1 15- ounce chickpeas rinsed and drained, canned; reduced sodium
- 3 cucumber diced, mini
- ⅓ cup mint leaves chopped, lightly packed fresh
- ¼ cup parsley leaves and tender stems, chopped, fresh
- ⅓ cup pistachios roughly chopped, toasted
- ⅓ cup feta cheese
For the Dressing:
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- ½ teaspoon honey
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper ground
Instructions
- Place the red onion in a small bowl and cover with cold water. Let sit 5 minutes, then drain and set aside. (This softens the red onion's lingering afterbite).
- In a big bowl, place the quinoa, chickpeas, cucumbers, mint, parsley, pistachios, and feta.
- In a liquid measuring cup with a spout, stir together the dressing ingredients: olive oil, honey, salt, and pepper.
- Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to combine. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
- To make the salad in mason jars, stir the dressing together in the bottom of 3, 16-ounce jars (I eyeball the amounts for the dressing). Divide the remaining ingredients between the 3 jars, starting with the quinoa and chickpeas and ending with the pistachios and feta.
- TO STORE: Refrigerate for up to 4 days. The pistachios will soften as the salad sits in the refrigerator, so if you will be refrigerating for more than 2 days, consider adding just before serving.
