Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 15 minutes; Total time approx. 35 minutes

Rinse the quinoa in a sieve and bring to a boil with four cups of water, or twice as much water as the quinoa. Simmer on low heat for about 15 minutes, until tender. Rinse the chickpeas in a sieve, or soak the dried chickpeas overnight. Drain the chickpeas and dry them. Finely chop the mint, parsley, cucumber, and red onion. Remove the quinoa from the heat and let it cool briefly. Mix everything in a bowl. Squeeze a lemon over the salad, add good olive oil, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Crumble the feta cheese over the salad, mix everything again, and serve the lukewarm salad immediately. The combination of mint and lemon makes it delicious and very filling!
