Ingredients
Scale
1 cup cooked quinoa
1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cucumber, diced
1 avocado, sliced
2 cups mixed greens (like arugula and spinach)
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: Roasted sweet potatoes, Feta cheese or goat cheese, Sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds

Instructions
Step 1: Cook the quinoa according to package instructions. Typically, it takes about 15 minutes. Once cooked, fluff it with a fork, and let it cool slightly.
Step 2: While your quinoa is cooking, rinse and drain those chickpeas. Rubbing them with a paper towel gives you extra dryness.
Step 3: Chop your veggies—cucumbers, tomatoes, and avocado—into bite-sized pieces.
Step 4: To make the Green Goddess dressing, combine fresh herbs, a squeeze of lemon juice, olive oil, a clove of garlic, and salo and pepper in a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Step 5: Layer the quinoa as the base in a bowl, then arrange chickpeas, chopped veggies, and greens on top. Drizzle with the dressing.
Step 6: Finish off with optional garnishes and enjoy!
