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.

“In the crypto world, this is great news I want to share. Last year, I fell victim to a scam disguised as a safe investment option. I have invested in crypto trading platforms for about 10yrs thinking I was ensuring myself a retirement income, only to find that all my assets were either frozen, I believed my assets were secure — until I discovered that my BTC funds had been frozen and withdrawals were impossible. It was a devastating moment when I realized I had been scammed, and I thought my Bitcoin was gone forever, Everything changed when a close friend recommended the Capital Crypto Recover Service.

I just want to share my experience and testimony here. I was married for 9years to my wife and all of a sudden, another woman came into the picture. He started hailing me and he was abusive but I still loved her with all my heart and wanted him at all cost…then he filed for divorce..my whole life was turning apart and I didn’t know what to do. She moved out of the house and abandoned the kids. So someone told me about trying spiritual means to get my husband back and introduced me to a spell caster…so I decided to try it reluctantly although I didn’t believe in all those things… then when he did the special prayers and spell, after ,48 hours, my husband came back and was pleading. He had realized his mistakes i just couldn’t believe it, anyway we are back together now and we are happy..in case anyone needs this man, the person can also call or WhatsApp him number:‪‪(+2347053381933‬‬.)

Am so excited to share my testimony of a real spell caster who brought my husband back to me. My husband and I have been married for about 6yrs now. We were happily married with two kids, 3 months ago, I started to notice some strange behavior from him and a few weeks later I found out that my husband is seeing someone else. I became very worried and I needed help. I did all I could to save my marriage but it fail until a friend of mine told me about the wonderful work of Dr Jakuta I contacted him and he assured me that after 24hrs everything will return back to normal, to my greatest surprise my husband came back home and went on his knees was crying begging me for forgiveness I’m so happy right now. Thank you so much Dr Jakuta because ever since then everything has returned back to normal. One message to him today can change your life too for the better. You can contact him via WhatsApp +2349161779461 or Email : doctorjakutaspellcaster24@gmail. com
