Instructions
Rinse ½ cup quinoa under cold water to remove bitterness.
In a pot, add quinoa with 1 cup water and a pinch of salt.
Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 12–15 minutes until fluffy.
Place the cooked chickpeas into a serving bowl.
Slice the cooked beets and add them on top.
Add the cooked quinoa and season with a pinch of black pepper.
Top with cubed reduced-fat feta cheese.
Prepare the dressing by mixing beet juice, lemon juice, olive oil, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Drizzle over the bowl.
Garnish with chili flakes, sesame seeds, and fresh parsley before serving.
Storage Tips
Refrigerator: Store in an airtight glass or BPA-free plastic container for up to 3 days. Keep feta cheese in a separate container to prevent the salad from becoming watery.
Freezer: Not recommended for this dish (quinoa freezes well, but beets, feta, and chickpeas lose texture).
Reheating: Best eaten cold or at room temperature. If quinoa is refrigerated separately, it can be lightly reheated before mixing.
