📝 Preparation Steps
1
Add the quinoa. Once your quinoa is cooked and cooled down, add it to a very large bowl.
2
Add the beans and veggies. Drain and rinse your chickpeas, then add them to the quinoa, along with the cucumber, parsley, mint, and red onion.
3
Toss to combine. Toss the salad well using two salad forks or a pair of tongs.
4
Feta and pistachios. Sprinkle in the crumbled feta cheese and pistachios, and toss once again – just until everything is evenly distributed.

5
Make the dressing. Add the lemon juice, olive oil, honey, dijon, salt, and black pepper to a small glass jar or cruet. Whisk, shake, or blend to combine. Note: I like to use a mini milk frother to make dressing - it works great!
6
Pour in the dressing. Evenly pour the prepared dressing all over the salad, then toss well to distribute it.
7
Taste and adjust. Taste the salad and add more salt (or other ingredients) to your preference. Keep in mind that the flavor will improve once it has chilled for ⏱️ 1-2 hours.
8
Chill and serve. For the best results, cover the bowl and chill in the refrigerator for several hours before serving. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and extra crumbled feta cheese (if desired).
