3 servings
- 1/2 red onion (diced)
- 1 1/2 cups cooked, cooled quinoa (see How to Cook Quinoa)
- 1 15 - ounce can reduced sodium chickpeas (rinsed and drained)
- 3 mini cucumbers (diced)
- 1/3 cup lightly packed fresh mint leaves (chopped)
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (leaves and tender stems)
- 1/3 cup toasted pistachios (roughly chopped)
- 1/3 cup feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- ½ teaspoon honey
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Steps
Place the red onion in a small bowl and cover with cold water. Let sit 5 minutes, then drain and set aside. (This softens the red onion's lingering afterbite).
In a big bowl, place the quinoa, chickpeas, cucumbers, mint, parsley, pistachios, and feta.
In a liquid measuring cup with a spout, stir together the dressing ingredients: olive oil, honey, salt, and pepper.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to combine. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
