Southwest Quinoa Salad

Here is another great recipe which uses quinoa that I got from my friend, Tricia. So easy and good-for-you-yummy!


1 cup quinoa
1 3/4 cups water
4 tsp olive oil
1 cup cooked chickpeas
1 medium tomato, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 Tbsp lime juice
2 Tbsp (or more) cilantro, chopped
1/4 tsp salt

Add quinoa and water to a medium sauce pan. Bring to boil then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until all the water is absorbed. Drizzle with olive oil and then add the rest of the ingredients.
