Here is how you make Quinoa and Chickpea Salad:

NOTE: THIS MAKES A VERY LARGE AMOUNT OF QUINOA - If you want to make a smaller amount of this salad, you can use a 1:2 ratio of quinoa to water (2 cups water per cup of quinoa). Then you can just edit the other ingredients to your liking. Note: 1 cup of dry quinoa yields 3 cups cooked quinoa1. Rinse quinoa, and add to sauce pan with 4 cups of water.2. Bring to boil, cover, turn down the heat and simmer for approx. 10 min (until tender and the little white curled sprouts are visible)3. Rinse and Drain Chickpeas4. Wait until the quinoa has cooled down substantially before adding all ingredients together in big mixing bowl. (You don't have to do that but I just wanted to keep my feta cheese in chunks vs. having it melt). Feel free to mix play with the amounts of spices and ingredients to your liking. This would also be great with cucumber. Serving Size:?Makes 10 cups (20 1/2 cups)
