INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup cooked quinoa (approx 92g)
1/2 cup canned chickpeas, drained (approx 82g)
1/4 cup shelled edamame (approx 38g)
1/4 cup diced cucumber (approx 30g)
1/2 cup halved cherry tomatoes (approx 75g)
1 tablespoon minced red onion (approx 10g)
1 teaspoon tahini (approx 5g)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (approx 15g)
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
In a dry skillet over medium heat, add the drained chickpeas and toast them lightly for 3-4 minutes until they start to form a crispy exterior. Stir frequently to prevent burning.
In a medium bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, toasted chickpeas, shelled edamame, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, and minced red onion.
In a small bowl, whisk together tahini and fresh lemon juice to create the dressing. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Drizzle the lemon-tahini dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine all ingredients evenly.
Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary, then serve immediately or refrigerate for a refreshing cold salad.
