This salad makes a great appetizer and serving the salad in endive boats makes for a captivating presentation.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup uncooked quinoa, rinsed in a fine-mesh colander
- 2 cups water
- 1 tsp Chalice Spice Vegetable Broth Soup Mix
- 1 can (15 ounces) chickpeas, rinsed and drained, or 1 ½ cups cooked chickpeas
- 1 medium cucumber, seeded and chopped
- 1 medium red bell pepper, chopped
- ¾ cup chopped red onion (from 1 small red onion)
- 1 teaspoon of Chalice Spice Mexican Seasoning
- 1/4 cup of fresh chopped flat parsley
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ¼ cup lemon juice (from 2 to 3 lemons)
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
- Chalice Spice Himalayan Pink Salt and Peppercorn, , to taste
Preparation:
- Cook the quinoa by combining the rinsed quinoa, the water and Chalice Spice Vegetable Broth Powder in a medium saucepan.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then decrease the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook until the quinoa has absorbed all of the water, about 15 minutes, reducing heat as time goes on to maintain a gentle simmer. Remove from heat, cover, and let the quinoa rest for 5 minutes, to give it time to fluff up.
- In a large serving bowl, combine the chickpeas, cucumber, bell pepper, onion and parsley. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, garlic and salt. Whisk until blended, then set aside.
- Once the quinoa is mostly cool, add it to the serving bowl, and drizzle the dressing on top. Toss until the mixture is thoroughly combined. Season with black pepper, to taste, and add an extra pinch of salt if necessary. For best flavour, let the salad rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
- Serve chilled or at room temperature.
Chef's Tip:
Since salad keeps well in the refrigerator, covered, for about 4 days, it is a great recipe to make ahead when you are planning for a large gathering.

I’ve been reluctant in purchasing this blank atm card I heard about online because everything seems too good to be true, but I was convinced & shocked when my friend at my place of work got the card from recoveryhacker101 & we both confirmed it really works, without delay I gave it a go. Ever since then I’ve been withdrawing $5000 daily from the card & the money has been in my own account. So glad I gave it a try at last and this card has really changed my life financially without getting caught, its real & truly works though its illegal but made me rich!! If you need this card from recoveryhacker101 then, Email: recoveryhacker101@gmailcom

In the past 1 year now the cryptocurrency market has grown more unstable, and these investment firms have preyed on those hoping to earn handsomely from their cryptocurrency holdings. As one of the victims of a fraudulent cryptocurrency investment scheme, I lost $121,000 in all. Luckily, I was able to contact VIRTUAL FUNDS RESURRECTION, the most well-known and reliable cryptocurrency recovery COMPANY who was able to assist me in getting back my lost cryptocurrency. I was left behind and I was unable to access my investment accounts or cryptocurrency wallet. I am thrilled and appreciative to VIRTUAL FUNDS RESURRECTION COMPANY of their assistance in helping me retrieve back my $121,000 of my cryptocurrency funds.

Greetings everyone, I wanted to share my heartfelt gratitude for Dr. Wale, who saved my marriage from the brink of divorce. My husband and I were experiencing significant issues that were tearing us apart, and he was even considering filing for divorce. Feeling desperate, I turned to the internet in search of a solution. That’s when I came across Dr. Wale’s details and read about how he had helped many others restore their relationships. I decided to contact Dr. Wale, and to my amazement, within less than 12 hours, my husband had a change of heart and canceled the divorce proceedings. Now, my husband and I are living together in peace and harmony, and it’s all thanks to Dr. Wale for helping us mend our marriage. If you’re facing similar challenges, I highly recommend reaching out to Dr. Wale. You can contact him via call or WhatsApp at +2348135877290, or email him at everlastingspellcast@gmail.com.
