1
Prep vegetables, chickpeas, garlic, and quinoa
Cutting Board
Chef’s knife
Fine-mesh sieve

Drain and rinse the chickpeas, dice the cucumber, halve the grape tomatoes, and mince the garlic; rinse the quinoa in a fine-mesh sieve until the water runs mostly clear.

Keep fingers tucked while cutting the cucumber and tomatoes.

2 cans chickpeas
2 cups cucumber
2 cups grape tomatoes
1 Count garlic
1 cup quinoa
2
Cook the quinoa
Measuring cups and spoons
Medium saucepan

Simmer the quinoa covered on low until tender and the water absorbed, about 15 minutes or the package-directed time. Combine with the measured water and one-third of the salt and bring to a boil before lowering heat.

1 cup quinoa
2 cups Water
1/4 teaspoon Kosher Salt
3
Rest, fluff, and cool the quinoa
Large mixing bowl
Medium saucepan

Rest covered off the heat for 5 minutes, then fluff and cool until it will not wilt the arugula. Spread in a mixing bowl of at least 6 quarts and allow at least 5 minutes cooling, longer if still hot.

Use a dry towel or oven mitt when handling the hot saucepan lid.

4
Make the lemon-garlic dressing
Whisk
Small bowl
Measuring cups and spoons

Whisk the oil, lemon juice, garlic, remaining salt and pepper until smoothly combined.

1/4 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 Count garlic
1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt
1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
5
Toss the salad
Large mixing bowl

Add the chickpeas, cucumber, grape tomatoes, baby arugula, and cashews to the quinoa. Pour in the dressing and toss until evenly coated and ready to serve.

2 cans chickpeas
2 cups cucumber
2 cups grape tomatoes
5 ounces arugula
1 cup cashews
