Yield: 4 servings
Cuisine: Mediterranean
Ingredients: 1 cup quinoa; 2 cups vegetable broth; 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed; 1 red bell pepper, diced; 1 cucumber, diced; 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved; 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped; 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped; 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled; 1/4 cup lemon juice; 2 tablespoons olive oil; Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

In a medium saucepan, combine the quinoa and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed and the quinoa is fluffy.
While the quinoa is cooking, prepare the rest of the ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chickpeas, red bell pepper, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and parsley.
Once the quinoa is ready, fluff it with a fork and add it to the mixing bowl with the vegetables.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the quinoa and vegetable mixture, tossing everything together until well combined.
Gently fold in the crumbled feta cheese, ensuring it's evenly distributed throughout the salad.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed with more salt, pepper, or lemon juice.
Serve the Great Easy For Lunch salad immediately while it's still warm, or refrigerate it for a couple of hours to enjoy it chilled.
