Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Quinoa

    Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of quinoa with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes until the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the quinoa is cooking, chop the red bell pepper, and halve the cherry tomatoes. Mince the garlic.

  3. 3

    Sauté Spinach and Garlic

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, sautéed spinach and garlic, chickpeas, cherry tomatoes, and red bell pepper. Drizzle with lemon juice, and season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Toss everything to combine well. If desired, sprinkle with feta cheese before serving. Enjoy your nutritious meal!
