VEGAN QUINOA SALAD WITH VEGETABLES



Vegan Quinoa Salad with Vegetables image

This is a very versatile salad that I often make for potlucks or as a side for barbecues. You can switch out the vegetables to your liking. I've made also it with tomatoes and sauteed mushrooms. You can eat it right away while still warm or chill for a few hours for flavors to combine.

  • To cook the quinoa: Combine the rinsed quinoa and the water in a medium saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then decrease the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook until the quinoa has absorbed all of the water, about 15 minutes, reducing heat as time goes on to maintain a gentle simmer. Remove from heat, cover, and let the quinoa rest for 5 minutes, to give it time to fluff up.
  • In a large serving bowl, combine the chickpeas, cucumber, bell pepper, onion and parsley. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, garlic and salt. Whisk until blended, then set aside.
  • Once the quinoa is mostly cool, add it to the serving bowl, and drizzle the dressing on top. Toss until the mixture is thoroughly combined. Season with black pepper, to taste, and add an extra pinch of salt if necessary. For best flavor, let the salad rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
