Mediterranean Chickpea and Quinoa Salad
Fluffy quinoa and protein-rich chickpeas tossed with crisp cucumbers and a creamy herb-infused yogurt dressing for a refreshing and satisfying bite.
INGREDIENTS
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
0.5 cup canned chickpeas
0.75 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
2.5 tbsp hemp hearts
0.5 cup diced cucumber
0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
2 tbsp fresh parsley
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.5 tsp dried oregano
1 clove garlic
PREPARATION
Rinse and drain the canned chickpeas thoroughly in a fine-mesh sieve.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the non-fat Greek yogurt, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper until the dressing is smooth and creamy.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, chickpeas, diced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and chopped fresh parsley.
Pour the yogurt dressing over the salad and toss gently with a large spoon until all ingredients are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the hemp hearts over the salad and fold them in to ensure even distribution of the protein-rich seeds.
Serve immediately or divide into airtight containers for a convenient batch-prepped lunch that stays fresh for up to three days.
