Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cucumber, diced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 red onion, diced

  4. Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.

  6. Serve in individual bowls and enjoy!
