Preparation
Cook the quinoa
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Using a strainer, rinse the quinoa. In a medium pot, combine the quinoa, 1 cup water (double for 4 portions) and a pinch of salt; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer, 14 to 16 min., until tender. Fluff and allow to cool slightly.
Roast the chickpeas
Meanwhile, drain and rinse the chickpeas. On a lined sheet pan, toss with a drizzle of oil, the spices and S&P. Roast, stirring halfway, 12 to 15 min., until golden brown. Allow to cool slightly.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, halve the cucumbers lengthwise; thinly slice crosswise on an angle. Using a peeler, thinly slice the carrots into ribbons.
Make the salad
In a large bowl, combine the quinoa, chickpeas, cucumbers, carrots, vinaigrette and S&P.
Plate your dish
Divide the salad between your bowls. Garnish with the cheese and salad topper. Bon appétit!
