Ingredients

For the quinoa:

For the dressing and salad:

  • 2 tsp olive oil

Instructions

Quinoa:

  • Cook the quinoa according to packet instructions with a little salt. We find it best to use double the amount of water to quinoa, and cook until water has evaporated. Take off heat and cover with a tea towel for five minutes.

Dressing and salad:

  • In the meantime, drain and rinse the chickpeas. Give the arugula/rocket a quick wash and shake. Put them into a large bowl.
