Ingredients

Instructions

  • Cook quinoa according to package directions to yield about 3 cups. Quinoa usually takes about 15 to 20 minutes to cook.
  • In the meantime, prep the other ingredients. Slice the grapes, drain and rinse the chickpeas, crumble the feta, and squeeze the lemons.
  • Combine the cooked quinoa, grapes, tabouleh, chickpeas, and feta in a mixing bowl. Stir to combine.
  • Pour the lemon juice and olive oil over the salad and mix well. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Enjoy right away or put in the fridge for an hour to chill.

Notes

  • I buy pre-made tabouleh at the grocery store for this recipe, either from the salad bar or prepared foods counter. Sometimes I will get a packaged tabouleh, like Cedar's tabouleh, that I find by the hummus section. If you can't find tabouleh, you can make your own by combining ½ to ¾ cup chopped mint and parsley with ¼ cup diced red onion. Add a little olive oil and lemon juice to the mixture.
  • Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. If the salad gets dry, freshen it up with a little lemon juice before serving.
