By Rita H

Ingredients

• Dressing:
• 1/2 cup quinoa, dry
• 1 cup chick peas
• 1/2 cucumber, chopped
• 2 tomatoes, chopped
• 3 scallions, chopped
• 1/2 cup parsley, chopped
• 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 2 tbsp tahini

Preparation

Step 1

Put 1 cup water and quinoa in a small saucepan. Over high heat, bring to a boil, then lower heat to a simmer. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until all water is absorbed, about 7 minutes. Let cool for 30 minutes.

Add quinoa to a large bowl with rest of ingredients.

For dressing, whisk ingredients together. If it's not thin enough to pour, add a bit of water and continue to whisk.

Toss with salad to serve.
