This is a fresh, high‑protein quinoa salad that’s wholesome, colorful, and endlessly customizable. Fluffy cooked quinoa is combined with chickpeas, crisp vegetables (like cucumber, carrots, peppers, onions, and tomatoes), and a sprinkle of feta. A simple homemade vinaigrette—olive oil, vinegar, Dijon, and herbs—ties everything together. It’s quick, nourishing, and perfect as a side dish or a light main next to grilled chicken, steak, or fish.
