15 oz can chickpeas (drained and rinsed)

1 English cucumber (chopped)

1/2 small red onion (minced)

1/2 cup packed fresh parsley (finely chopped)

1/2 cup loosely-packed fresh mint leaves (finely chopped)

1/2 cup roasted salted pistachios (chopped)

salt and pepper (to taste)

1/2 cup lemon juice (~3-4 lemons)

1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

1 Tablespoon honey

Directions

For the Lemon Dressing:

Make dressing

Add ingredients to a jar with a tight fitting lid, or small bowl, then shake or whisk to combine.

For the Salad:

Cook quinoa

Add chicken or vegetable stock to a small saucepan over high heat then bring to a boil. Add quinoa then turn heat down to low, place a lid on top, and simmer until quinoa is tender and broth has been absorbed, 12-15 minutes. Fluff cooked quinoa with a fork then scoop into a storage container or large mixing bowl to cool. Once cool, cover then refrigerate until chilled. Can be made a day or two ahead of time.

Chill

Add chilled quinoa to a large mixing bowl then add remaining salad ingredients. Drizzle with desired amount of dressing (do not need to use all if you don't want to!) then toss to combine and serve, or refrigerate for up to 3 days.
