Process
Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results
- Add 1.5 cups of quinoa into a large saucepan. Add 3 cups of water and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to a low simmer, cover, and cook for 12-15 minutes — until quinoa is tender and fluffy, and all the water is absorbed. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool completely.
- Rinse the chickpeas and black beans in a colander until the water runs clear. Transfer to a large salad bowl. Add the tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and parsley. Mix well. Fold in the cooled quinoa.
- In a small bowl, whisk the olive oil, lemon, mustard, maple syrup, cumin, oregano, salt and pepper. Drizzle over the salad, and mix to fully cover salad ingredients. Cover, and store in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Lasts 3-4 days in the refrigerator.
