Quinoa Salad with Chickpeas, Feta and Apples
This is a repeat! I’m making this salad on Global this morning in honour of Apple Month, and so thought I’d post it here in case anyone comes looking for it. Here it is!
This is a salad I did awhile ago for Swerve, and I can’t get enough of it.
Quinoa Salad with Chickpeas, Feta and Apples
AuthorJulieCook 1 cup quinoa according to package directions (or there are directions here); dump into a wide salad bowl and set aside to cool. (Tip: add the raisins as it cools - the raisins will plump up as they absorb any excess moisture.) Add the chickpeas, parsley, feta and apple and drizzle with dressing. (To make the dressing: shake all the ingredients up in a jar.) Toss, then sprinkle with toasted walnuts or almonds right before serving.

Julie, I am seriously drooling over this salad!
This salad is STUNNING! I also love the flavor combination, and anything with chickpeas is good in my book.
Looks really good! When you were on Global, did you say that ambrosia apples don’t turn brown?
Yes, they don’t oxidize as quickly as other varieties – meaning they don’t turn brown. I mean they do slightly, but not as much as other kinds, and not as quickly.
yummy yummy
Totally my kind of salad! This looks delicious.
I made this salad, and it was absolutely delicious! Total win. 5 Stars!
Yum. This looks wonderful. Pinning now.
Love your recipes. I often use chicken or veggie broth rather than water for just a little more flavor. The broth is salt free, as well. Thanks for the great ideas! We love quinoa and have passed on recipes to others. Be healthy!
Patricia – good idea with the chicken or veggie stock! and yes, don’t you love quionoa recipes? I’m a fan…
This is absolutely delicious! I will definitely make it again. Thanks for sharing this recipe!
This looks so beautiful! I made it the other day for a family bbq and it turned out really well. I posted a link to your recipe on my facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/RealLifeForMom?ref=hl

Go to Summer Salad! We discovered this last summer and have made it for many potlucks and it gets great reviews.
As my family does not like the consistency of quinoa, can rice or another grain be used in place of quinoa? Thank you.
Really the only reason my kids know Evian or Volvo Trucks or TrueMove (Thailand), among other brands, could be
because of their particular run YouTube.
