Ingredients
- 1 cup uncooked quinoa or bulgar wheat
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup cucumber chopped
- ½ cup parsley chopped
- ½ cup mint chopped
- ⅓ cup red onion chopped
- ½ cup roasted and salted pistachios chopped
- 1 ounce can chickpeas drained and rinsed
- 2 lemons juiced (about 5-6 Tablespoons)
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- sea salt to taste
- ground pepper to taste
- ½ cup crumbled Feta cheese
Instructions
- Rinse and drain quinoa. Add quinoa and water to a small pot and bring the water to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover and cook for 15 minutes. Fluff with a fork and let cool for 5-10 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, stir together cooked quinoa, cucumber, parsley, mint, red onion, pistachios, chickpeas, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper and feta.
- Serve immediately or let the salad chill in the fridge a couple hours before serving.
- Store salad in an airtight container for up to 5 days in the fridge.
Notes
- Add bulgur and water to a small pot and bring the water to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover and cook for 12 minutes. Drain off any access water. Fluff with a fork and let cool for 5-10 minutes.
- Quinoa: Feel free to use bulgur if desired. Add bulgur and water to a small pot and bring the water to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover and cook for 12 minutes. Drain off any access water. Fluff with a fork and let cool for 5-10 minutes.
- Cheese: Feel free to skip the feta altogether or use a dairy-free feta cheese if you want the salad to be vegan.
- Avocado: Want to add a little more creaminess and healthy fat to your salad? Add in some chopped avocado.
- Pistachios: Feel free to swap the pistachios with another nut. I bet roasted and salted almonds would be delicious. If you need this salad to be nut-free, you can totally swap the nuts for roasted sunflower seeds.
