Ingredients:

Serving

1 cup quinoa
1/8 tsp salt
1 3/4 cups water
1 cup canned garbanzo beans ( chickpeas), drained
1 tomato, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
3 tbsp lime juice
4 tsp olive oil
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1 pinch salt and pepper to taste
1/2 tsp chopped fresh parsley

Directions:

Place the quinoa in a fine mesh strainer, and rinse under cold, running water until the water no longer foams. Bring the quinoa, salt, and water to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the quinoa is tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
Once done, stir in the garbanzo beans, tomatoes, garlic, lime juice, and olive oil. Season with cumin, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley to serve.
