Prepare Quinoa

Rinse 1 cup of quinoa under cold water. In a pot, combine rinsed quinoa with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

Prep Vegetables

Chop the fresh spinach, dice the tomatoes, slice the cucumbers, and dice the red onion. Set all vegetables aside in a large mixing bowl.

Cook Grilled Chicken

Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Grill over medium heat for 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Prepare Chickpeas

If using canned chickpeas, drain and rinse them under cold water. Set aside.

Add Cheese

Crumble the feta cheese and set aside to add later.

Combine Ingredients

In the large mixing bowl with the vegetables, add the cooked quinoa, grilled chicken (sliced), chickpeas, and crumbled feta cheese.

Prepare Dressing

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper until combined.

Dress and Toss

Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and toss gently to combine. Add chopped fresh basil and toss again.
