Fave side salad

I’m not a meal pepper but I love a little side salad ready to go. It pairs great with a protein right off the grill in the summer, or it’s good to smash right on its own after a workout. Feel free to mix up the veggies but here is my go to !

Ingredients:

1.5 cups white quinoa

3 cups water

1/2 cup olive oil

1/8 cup white wine vinegar

S&P

2 Tbsp grated Parmesan

1 15oz. cam drained chickpeas

1/4 cup diced red onion

8oz. cherry or grape tomatoes, halved

1lb. English cucumber, sliced

Instructions:

1. Bring the 3 cups of water to a boil and cook the quinoa according to package he package instructions. Set aside and let cool.

2. In a mixing bowl combine the olive oil, vinegar, S&P, and Parmesan. Add in your cooled quinoa and your chopped veggies. It’s great at room temp or chill it down for later! I believe the best shelf life for this is 3 days but mine never lasts that long anyway. 😂
