Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 cup water
½ cup quinoa
1 (19 ounce) can chickpeas (garbanzo beans), rinsed and drained
1 large carrot, peeled and roughly chopped
1 rib celery, roughly chopped
½ cup sunflower seeds
¼ cup shredded cabbage
¼ onion, chopped
¼ cup sliced almonds
¼ cup raisins
½ cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
2 tablespoons honey Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon dried kelp flakes
1 ½ teaspoons sweet pickle relish
1 teaspoon lemon juice
¼ teaspoon salt
freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Combine chickpeas, carrot, celery, sunflower seeds, cabbage, and onion in a food processor and pulse until everything is roughly equal in size; transfer to a large bowl.
  • Stir quinoa, almonds, and raisins into the chickpea mixture; add mayonnaise, mustard, kelp flakes, relish, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir the mixture until evenly seasoned.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover quinoa. I always have a container of cooked quinoa in my fridge, so this recipe is a lifesaver.
