Quinoa & Veggie Bowl with Chick Peas & feta

Image

My quinoa and veggie bowl with feta and chick peas is a quick, healthy lunch recipe I love to make for myself. It has tones of vitamins and nutrients from the vegetables, and protein from the chick peas and quinoa, plus quinoa is a super food so it is extra good for you! 

What you’ll need: 

1 cup quinoa

1/2 cup chick peas

Feta Cheese

Vegetables , in this case I used broccoli, red peppers,onions and cherry tomato’s

1. Cook your quinoa, it is 1 cup quinoa to 2 cups water. Make sure you rinse your quinoa first then add it to the water once it is boiling.

3. Pan fry your veggies until tender.

4. Add approximately half the quinoa to your veggies once it is cooked as well as 1/2 cup chick peas, and 2 tbsp kraft balsamic vinaigrette. Allow for all combined ingredients to cook together for 3-5 mins. Top with feta cheese

5. Plate, serve and enjoy!

* I tend to make extra quinoa so I have left overs to eat throughout the week. If you want to make just enough for this dish then the measurements would be 1/2 quinoa to 1 cup water.
