There are certain times when after indulgent bouts of spicy masala rich dishes, that one craves for light refreshing salads. This Quinoa Chickpea salad was introduced to me by a committee member during a gathering at my house in December last year to thank them for their hardwork throughout the year. It appealed to me instantly and surprisingly it paired quite well with the Indian dishes I had laid out. Its filling, loaded with protein and the necessary vegetables for fibre, taste and colour! The whole salad can be ready in half an hour and it has become a cult favourite at home. 
Ingrdients (for 2 as a main meal and for 4 as a side dish)
1 cup quinoa
3 cups water
1/2 tsp salt

1 or 2 spring onion stalks, chopped small
1 or 2 coriander leaves stalks, chopped small 
Red Capsicum, chopped small roughly 2 tbsps
Yellow Capsicum, chopped small roughly 2 tbsps 
1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
Pepper per your preference
1/3 cup Lemon juice 

Method
1) Boil the quinoa till all the water has evaporated and set aside in a salad bowl.
2) Assemble all the vegetables and chickpeas on top of the boiled quinoa. Mix gently.
3) Season with pepper and lemon juice. Check for salt and add more if required. 
4) Serve warm.
