We make this recipe on Repeat. Like every week. It is so good and really easy to whip up. I love that we can have this in our fridge for the week when we need a quick protein packed snack or a quick side dish for a meal.
What you will need:
- ⅔ cup Dry Quinoa
- Feta Cheese
- Fresh Mint, chopped
- Chickpeas - 1 can
- ½ Red onion, chopped
- 1 cup or more of roasted salted pistachios
- Fresh Lemon Juice
I've talked about how I love feta cheese before as well as how I love fresh mint in my Ground Chicken Recipe with Mint, Burmese Style recipe, so that might be part of the reason for my obsession with this recipe. But, also the variety of textures in this salad is so great with the crunch of the pistachios and the soft chick peas. It really comes together well.
I hope you and your family love it too!
