FOOD: Anna: The Jennifer Aniston Salad
Ingredients
½ cup quinoa dry, or 1-1½ cups cooked
salt and pepper
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon honey
1 small clove garlic grated on a microplane zester
15 oz. canned chickpeas drained and rinsed, about 1½ cups
2 cups diced cucumber from about 1 medium cucumber
½ cup finely diced red onion finely diced, from about ½ medium onion
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
¼ cup chopped fresh dill
4 oz. feta cheese crumbled, about 1 cup, see notes
½ cup roasted and salted pistachios roughly chopped, or other nut or seeds
Instructions
Rinse the ½ cup quinoa well in a mesh sieve. Place in a small pot with ¾ cup water and ¼ teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer on low for 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and leave covered for 20 minutes. Uncover, fluff up, and store in the refrigerator until cooled. (Note: this can be done up to a day or two in advance of making the salad.)
In the bottom of a large bowl, whisk together ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 teaspoon honey, the grated 1 small clove garlic, and salt and pepper to taste (I used about ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper).
Add the cooked quinoa, the drained and rinsed 15 oz. canned chickpeas, 2 cups diced cucumber, ½ cup finely diced red onion, ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley, ¼ cup chopped fresh dill, ½ cup roasted and salted pistachios, and crumbled 4 oz. feta cheese. Toss together to coat everything in the dressing.
Serve immediately, or store for up to a few days before serving. If it dries out a bit, feel free to drizzle with a little more olive oil when serving.
