Quinoa, Black Bean, and Chickpea Salad (guest post on Cooking Quinoa)

09/09 by Leigha 12 Comments

Fashion Friday {9/8 - 9/11}
Fashion Friday! {first week of school}

Vegan Chickpea, Quinoa, and Black Bean SaladLook at that beauty. That just so happens to be vegan, gluten free, and loaded with all kinds of flavors.

Quinoa, Black Bean, and Chickpea SaladWe’ve got quinoa added to some sauteed garlic and onions, cooked in vegetable broth, then stirred with a can of black beans and chickpeas that all combine for one of the most intense flavor combos like, ever. Then topped with avocado? Ohhhhhemmmmgeeeee so good. sososogood.

Vegan Quinoa, Black Bean, and Chickpea SaladI based this off of my Mexican Quinoa Salad but I think I like this one even better. The pictures are a little better too, don’t you think? πŸ˜‰

To get the recipe, head on over to Cooking Quinoa where I was lucky enough to guest post! And seriously, tell me if you make it because it will change your life. Okay it will at least change your lunch time for when you don’t know what to pack. This is super yumlicious straight out of the pan, but it gets even better as it sits because the flavors meld together! I just finished the last of it for lunch yesterday and now I’m kind of mad that I have to go back to PB&J’s.

Black Bean, Quinoa, and Chickpea SaladHappy Tuesday! I have a cross country meet later today. Wish me luck!
