Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 3 cups arugula
  • 1/2 cup uncooked quinoa
  • 2 diced peaches or nectarines
  • 1/2 avocado
  • 1 15 ounce can chickpeas (drained and rinsed )
  • 3/4 cup sweet corn
  • 1/2 diced cucumber
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion
  • 1/4 cup fresh chopped basil
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons honey (or more, to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (or more, to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1-2 teaspoons minced garlic

Instruction

  • Cook the quinoa according to these instructions.
  • Once the quinoa is done, let cool for about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, add all salad ingredients to a bowl. Add in the quinoa once cooled. You don't want to add it when it's hot or it will wilt the arugula too much.
  • Whisk together all ingredients for the dressing. Give it a quick taste and add more salt or honey if desired. I also like a pinch of red pepper flakes for some spice, but totally optional! Pour on top of the salad, adding as much or as little as you like.
  • Toss to combine and enjoy!
