Protein-packed chickpeas and fluffy quinoa are tossed with crisp cucumbers and juicy tomatoes in a zesty, herb-infused lemon dressing for a refreshing bite.
INGREDIENTS
0.75 cup canned chickpeas
0.25 cup cooked quinoa
0.75 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
1.5 tbsp hemp hearts
1 oz feta cheese
1 cup fresh spinach
0.5 cup cucumber
0.25 cup cherry tomatoes
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp dried oregano
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp fresh parsley
PREPARATION
In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper until the dressing is smooth and creamy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rinsed chickpeas, cooked quinoa, chopped fresh spinach, diced cucumber, and halved cherry tomatoes.
Pour the yogurt-lemon dressing over the salad and toss gently to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated.
Fold in the hemp hearts and crumbled feta cheese to add a nutty texture and a savory finish to the salad.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately or chill for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
