Garlicky Quinoa and Garbanzo Bean Salad image

This dish is a meal in itself-- it contains a good fat (olive oil), green vegetables (broccoli), a whole grain (quinoa), and a protein source (garbanzo beans)! It's also vegan. I usually have this for breakfast or lunch.

Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

½ cup uncooked quinoa
1 cup water
1 (15 ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained
¾ cup chopped broccoli
1 clove garlic, minced, or to taste
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon dried tarragon
2 teaspoons coarse-grain mustard
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
salt and black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Bring the quinoa and water to a boil in a small saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the quinoa is tender, and the water has been absorbed, about 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Scrape the cooked quinoa into a mixing bowl. Add the garbanzo beans, broccoli, garlic, lemon juice, tarragon, mustard, and olive oil. Stir until evenly mixed. Season to taste with salt and black pepper before serving.

This salad was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning, or maybe some fresh herbs. The quinoa was also a bit dry. I might try making it again with some different ingredients.

This salad was a bit too sour for my taste. I think it would be better with less lemon juice, or maybe if the lemon juice was replaced with something else, like vinegar.

This salad was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think it would be better with less red pepper flakes, or maybe if the red pepper flakes were replaced with something else, like paprika.

I found this salad to be a bit too oily. I think it would be better with less oil, or maybe if the oil was replaced with something else, like vinegar or lemon juice.

I'm not usually a fan of quinoa salads, but this one changed my mind. The garlic and lemon dressing is amazing, and the garbanzo beans add a nice protein boost. Will definitely make this again!
