CHICKPEA QUINOA SALAD WITH TURNIP GREENS

WHAT YOU NEED:

  • 2/3 cup dry quinoa (or 2 cups cooked quinoa)
  • Juice and zest from 1 orange
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
  • 1 cup Nature’s Greens® Turnip Greens
  • 1 15 oz can chickpeas/ garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
  • Salt to taste

WHAT YOU DO:

Directions:

  1. If cooking quinoa from scratch, bring 1 1/3 cup water to a boil, add 2/3 cup dry quinoa, cover, reduce to a simmer, and cook 15 minutes. Quinoa is when it is fluffy and all of the water has been absorbed and cooked off. Let quinoa cool.
  2. Combine dressing ingredients in a small bowl: orange juice and zest, olive oil, and basil.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the quinoa, turnip greens, and chickpeas. Add the dressing and toss to combine.
  4. Can be served immediately or made up to 24 hours in advance.
