Southwestern Quinoa And Chickpea Salad Recipe

  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 1 3/4 cups water
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup canned chickpeas, drained
  • 1 medium tomato, diced
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 3 tablespoons lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 4 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  1. Place the quinoa in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse under cold running water until the water runs clear.
  2. Bring the water to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Add the quinoa and salt and return to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until tender and the liquid is absorbed.
  3. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the chickpeas, tomato, garlic, lime juice, cilantro, oil, and cumin. Add the quinoa and toss to coat well.
