A great recipe for those who are looking for a simple, healthy and filling salad! It’s also gluten-free. Quinoa is known for being one of the best plant-based source of protein since it contains all nine essential amino acids that our bodies cannot produce on their own. For the vegan option, use maple syrup instead of honey, and that’s it. You can also skip honey altogether. Ingredients: 1 cup uncooked quinoa 2 cups water 1 small cucumber 1/2 cup parsley 1 capia pepper 6 cherry tomatoes 1 small red onion 400 g canned chickpeas 1/4 cup olive oil 1/4 cup lemon juice 1 garlic 1/2 tsp honey or maple syrup Salt Black pepper Enjoy!
