Method
- Rinse the quinoa under cold water to remove its natural bitterness, then combine with 2 cups vegetable broth in a pot; bring to a boil over high heat, reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until tender.
- While the quinoa cooks, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, toss in the chickpeas with salt and pepper, and cook for 5-7 minutes until lightly browned and crispy.
- Dice the cucumber, halve the cherry tomatoes, and chop the bell pepper into bite-sized pieces.
- Slice the avocado carefully and remove the pit.
- Combine 1 tablespoon olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, salt, and pepper in a small bowl and whisk to create the dressing.
- In a large mixing bowl, layer the cooked quinoa, roasted chickpeas, diced vegetables, and sliced avocado.
- Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the top.
- Drizzle the dressing over the bowl and gently toss to combine all ingredients.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, keeping the dressing separate to avoid sogginess. For added smokiness, grill the veggies or chickpeas before assembling.
