• Prepare four bowls. Add to each: 1/2 cup chickpeas, 1/4 cup tomatoes, 1/2 cup quinoa, 1 cup greens, 1/4 cup hummus, 2 tablespoons olives. Drizzle with tahini sauce and garnish with fresh herbs.
• Serve immediately and enjoy!

Steps:

• Cover quinoa with 4 cups of water and rub the grains between the palm of your hands for 2 seconds. Drain and repeat the process 1 more time.
• Bring 4 1/2 cups water to a boil; add quinoa, sea salt, and olive oil. Cover, lower heat, and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes or until water is absorbed. Let cool, then fluff with a fork. Add the artichoke hearts, Kalamata olives, spinach, cherry tomatoes, parsley, and Greek dressing, and toss to mix well. Sprinkle with pine nuts and goat feta.
