Lite & Lemony Quinoa Salad {Wrap}

Sharing is caring!

Do you need a lite meal that doesn’t make you feel overheated and sluggish?

This Quinoa Salad is infused with lemon and full of crisp cucumber and bell pepper. The quinoa and chickpeas give this salad plenty of fuel that make it perfect for a side dish, a topping on a leafy green salad, or in a wrap. I add a few more calories by adding hummus to my wrap and giving the quinoa something to stick to.

Lite & Lemony Quinoa Salad {Wrap}

Ingredients

• 4 cups cooked quinoa
• 1 to 2 cups cooked chickpeas
• 1 cup diced cucumber
• 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
• 1/4 cup diced red onion
• 1/2 cup diced red or yellow bell pepper
• 1/4 tsp. garlic powder
• juice and zest from 1 lemon (about 1/4 cup)
• 1 tbsp. red wine vinegar

Do

1. Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl.
2. Chill before eating to allow flavors time to mingle.

Serve

This versatile dish can be served on a green salad for protein filled meal, as a side dish at a potluck, or as part of a wrap. I like to spread hummus on a tortilla, fill it with raw spinach, then add the Quinoa Salad.
