Mediterranean Quinoa Bean Salad
Chilled quinoa and chickpeas tossed with tender grilled chicken breast, crisp cucumbers, and zesty lemon-herb dressing for a refreshing bite.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz chicken breast
0.5 cup chickpeas
0.25 cup quinoa
0.5 oz feta cheese
0.5 cup cucumber
0.25 cup cherry tomatoes
1 tbsp red onion
1 tsp olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
0.25 tsp dried oregano
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked and diced chicken breast with the cooked quinoa and rinsed chickpeas.
Add the diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, and finely minced red onion to the grain mixture.
In a small separate bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss thoroughly until all components are evenly coated.
Gently fold in the crumbled feta cheese, being careful not to over-mix so the cheese stays in distinct pieces.
Serve immediately or let it sit in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to allow the Mediterranean flavors to fully develop.
