Ingredients
- 1 cup of fresh water
- ½ cup of quinoa grains
- 1 can of chickpeas weighing 19 ounces, rinsed and drained
- 1 large carrot, peeled and roughly chopped
- 1 rib of celery, chopped in chunks
- ½ cup of sunflower seeds
- ¼ cup of finely shredded cabbage
- ¼ of an onion, chopped
- ¼ cup of sliced almonds
- ¼ cup of plump raisins
- ½ cup of reduced-fat mayo
- 2 tablespoons of honey-infused Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon of dried kelp flakes
- 1 ½ teaspoons of sweet pickle relish
- 1 teaspoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice
- ¼ teaspoon of salt
- A sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper, according to your taste
Step 1
Start by boiling water and quinoa together in a saucepan until the quinoa is tender and the water is absorbed, typically around 15 to 20 minutes. Once done, fluff the quinoa with a fork and chill it in the fridge.
Step 2
Next, take chickpeas, carrots, celery, sunflower seeds, cabbage, and onions, and blitz them in a food processor until they are all roughly chopped. Transfer this colorful mix to a large bowl.
Step 3
Combine the chilled quinoa, almonds, and raisins with the chickpea medley. Then, add in mayonnaise, mustard, kelp flakes, relish, lemon juice, salt, and pepper for a burst of flavors. Stir everything together until the mixture is well-seasoned and ready to be enjoyed.
