INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup cooked quinoa
3/4 cup canned chickpeas, drained
0.9 cup shelled edamame
1 cup mixed roasted vegetables
1 tsp olive oil
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 tbsp chopped fresh herbs (parsley & mint)
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Toss chopped bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion with a light drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
While the vegetables are roasting, prepare 1/2 cup of cooked quinoa if not already done. Rinse and drain 3/4 cup of chickpeas.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, chickpeas, and 0.9 cup shelled edamame.
Once the vegetables are done roasting, add them to the bowl with the quinoa mixture.
In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of olive oil, and the chopped fresh herbs. Season with salt and pepper.
Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine all ingredients.
Serve warm or chilled as a nutritious meal option.
