- 15 oz can chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
- 1 English cucumber (chopped)

- 1/2 cup packed fresh parsley (finely chopped)
- 1/2 cup loosely-packed fresh mint leaves (finely chopped)
- 1/2 cup roasted salted pistachios (chopped)

- 1/2 cup lemon juice (~3–4 lemons)
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

Instructions
- Step 1 – Add ingredients to a jar with a tight fitting lid, or small bowl, then shake or whisk to combine.
- Step 2 – Add chicken or vegetable stock to a small saucepan over high heat then bring to a boil. Add quinoa then turn heat down to low, place a lid on top, and simmer until quinoa is tender and broth has been absorbed, 12-15 minutes. Fluff cooked quinoa with a fork then scoop into a storage container or large mixing bowl to cool. Once cool, cover then refrigerate until chilled. Can be made a day or two ahead of time.
