Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Quinoa

    Rinse quinoa under cold water, then cook in a pot with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

  2. 2

    In a bowl, combine halved cherry tomatoes, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes.

  3. 3

    Pickle the Carrots

    In a saucepan, combine vinegar, water, coriander seeds, and salt. Bring to a boil. Add sliced carrots and remove from heat. Let cool and then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  4. 4

    Whip the Feta

    In a food processor, combine feta cheese, Greek yogurt, and olive oil. Blend until smooth and creamy.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Chickpeas

    Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss drained chickpeas with smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, and salt. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until crispy.
