This salad is a summer salad recipe that is sure to please. It is healthy, simple and full of flavor.
1 cup quinoa or bulgur wheat uncooked
2 cups water
1 cup cucumber chopped
1/2 cup parsely chopped
1/2 cup mint chopped
1/3 cup red onion chopped
1/2 cup roasted and salted pistachios chopped
1 15 oz can of chickpeas drained and rinsed
2 lemons juiced (about 5–6 tablespoons)
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
sea salt to taste
ground peper to taste
1. Rinse and drain the bulgur wheat. Add the bulger wheat and water to a small pot and bring that to a boil. Once boiling reduce to a smimmer and cover for 12min. Full with a fork and let cool for 5-10min and set it to a side.
2. Once the bulger wheat is cool in another bowl combine the wheat with the cucumber, parsely, mint, red onion, pistachios, chickpeas, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, peper and feta.
3. Toss the ingredients together and serve immediately or let the salad chill in the fridge before servering.
If you are going to use the quinoa cook as same as the bulgur wheat only let it simmer covered for 15min instead of the 12min. This salad will hold really well for about 5 days in the fridge in an airtight container. Lastly feel free to add a bit more lemon juice, about 2 more table spoons for an extra lemon flavor. I did this personally and it was fantastic. Please feel free to leave a comment. Enjoy!
