Healthy Eating: Quinoa Chickpea Salad

quinoa chickpea saladHow many times have we eaten a light meal consisting of a salad or a fruit only to feel hungry later and end up eating some junk? Ideally, a salad is a meal by itself. It can fit anywhere between your lunch and dinner. If salads have not been giving you the satiety you need, try this power-packed Quinoa Chickpea Salad to fill your tummy with high fiber and protein content but still make you feel light. 

What You Will Need 

  • Quinoa – ⅓ Cup (soaked for 30-60 mins) 
  • Chickpeas – ½ cup boiled 
  • Garlic – 1 tsp chopped 
  • Capsicum – ¼ cup chopped 
  • Onion – ¼ cup chopped 
  • Cucumber – 1 
  • Tomato – 1 
  • Green Chilly – 1 tsp chopped 
  • Coriander – 4 tbsp
  • Ghee – 1 tsp 
  • Jeera – ¼ tsp 
  • Turmeric Powder – ¼ tsp 
  • A pinch of Hing 
  • Water – ½ cup 
  • Lemon Juice – 1 tsp 
  • Salt to taste 

How To Prepare

  1. In a pan, add  1 tsp ghee and jeera. As the jeera starts crackling, add hing & sauté garlic for a while. 
  2. Now add water. Let the water boil. Add salt, turmeric powder  & quinoa (washed & drained). Cover it for 10 minutes and stir 1-2 times in between. Your quinoa generally gets cooked in 10 minutes, turn off the stove and let it cool to room temperature.
  3. In a big bowl, add cooked quinoa, boiled chickpeas and rest of the ingredients. Give everything a good mix
  4. Your healthy and filling Quinoa Chickpea Salad is ready! 

Tips For The Quinoa Chickpea Salad Recipe 

  • Don’t forget to scrub the quinoa grain a little before rinsing as it helps in removing the natural coating of saponins which can make it taste bitter or soapy
  • You can add a little cheese or paneer as well over your salad to make it more tasty and increase the protein content 
  • Try this recipe especially when you have leftover boiled chickpeas
