Today I’m bringing you one of my absolute favorite salad recipes. This quinoa chickpea salad is protein packed and full of flavor. You might have heard that Jennifer Anniston liked to eat the same salad everyday while filming Friends. Well, this salad is a take on that recipe. It’s so easy and is the perfect side dish to any meal.
Prepare the quinoa according to the package instructions; I like to use my instant pot for this step. Cook on high pressure for 2 minutes then let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes before releasing the remaining pressure.

While the quinoa is cooking, prepare the remaining ingredients and the dressing.
Combine all of the ingredients in a large bowl and mix well.


Serve the Quinoa and Chickpea Salad with another dish or enjoy by itself.Ā
