Serving4 bowls
Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked quinoa
- 2 cucumbers, chopped
- 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- ½ cup hummus
- ½ cup Kalamata olives
- ½ cup red onions, chopped
- ½ cup feta cheese
- olive oil, for topping
- balsamic vinegar, for topping
- chopped parsley, for topping
Instructions
- Cook quinoa according to package directions. Let cool.
- Chop cucumbers and red onions.
- In four separate bowls, even distribute quinoa, cucumbers, chickpeas, hummus, olives, red onion and feta cheese. We like to place the vegetables and cheese in little groups on top of the quinoa, and then we had a big helping of hummus in the middle.
- Drizzle olive oil and balsamic vinegar over the top and sprinkle with chopped parsley (optional).
Notes
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- You can assemble the bowl in advance. Build the bowl in a regular bowl and cover with plastic wrap, or make it in an airtight container. We also like to prep all the ingredients in advanced, and then assemble when they are ready. This keeps the quinoa from getting to soggy.
