A make-ahead lunch salad that gets better in the fridge. Quinoa, chickpeas, cucumber, olives, feta and a punchy lemon-oregano dressing.
Method
- Cook the quinoa in plenty of salted water for 12–15 minutes until the little 'tails' appear. Drain well and spread on a tray to cool quickly.
- Whisk the dressing ingredients together in a large bowl.
- Add the cooled quinoa, chickpeas, cucumber, tomatoes, onion, olives and herbs to the bowl and toss well.
- Fold through the feta, taste and adjust seasoning. Serve at room temperature.
💡 VeggieTip notes
- Keeps for 3 days in the fridge — perfect for packed lunches. Add the feta and herbs fresh each day if you can.
- Swap quinoa for couscous, bulgur or farro (note: those contain gluten).
- Add roasted red peppers or grilled courgette for more substance.
