INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup Roasted Chickpeas (~82g)
1 cup Shelled Edamame (~156g)
1/3 cup Cooked Quinoa (~60g)
1/3 cup Crumbled Feta Cheese (~50g)
1 cup Mixed Chopped Vegetables (~150g)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Rinse and drain canned chickpeas or use soaked dried chickpeas. Toss 1/2 cup chickpeas with a light spray of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until crispy, stirring halfway through.
While the chickpeas are roasting, prepare the edamame by steaming or boiling until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and set aside to cool.
Cook quinoa according to package directions. Once cooked, allow it to cool to room temperature.
Chop a mix of fresh vegetables (cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red bell pepper, red onion, and spinach) into bite-size pieces and combine in a large bowl.
Add the cooled quinoa, roasted chickpeas, and edamame to the bowl with chopped vegetables. Gently toss the mixture.
Sprinkle crumbled feta over the salad and lightly mix to distribute the creamy tang evenly.
Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of crisp vegetables and creamy feta, or refrigerate for about 15 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
