Quinoa Chickpeas Salad

A Salad lunch is one of the best ways to keep a healthy diet and load up on nutrition which other foods may not provide during the day.

Here's another combination for a super healthy Salad - Quinoa Chickpeas Salad.



Ingredients for a bowl: 1/2 cup cooked Quinoa (warm if desired), 1/2 cup cooked Chickpeas, 1/2 a ripe Avocado chopped, handful cherry tomatoes chopped, chopped cucumber, lettuce leaves, Thai red chillies (not very hot), chopped coriander, lemon juice, olive oil.

Make:

1. In a pan, saute Chickpeas in a bit of olive oil and chilli flakes to flavour to the Chickpeas. Cool to room temperature.

2. In a serving bowl, add the cooked Quinoa and Chickpeas and toss together. Add salt if desired. 

3. Add in all the chopped fresh ingredients -  cucumber, tomato, avocado, lettuce leaves, coriander. Mix together gently. Sprinkle lemon juice and chopped red chillies on top. Serve!
