For the Dressing

1 tbsp tahini
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 tbsp lemon juice freshly squeezed

Instructions

Place quinoa and water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Once it starts boiling, cover with a lid, reduce the heat and let simmer for 10-12 minutes. When it is ready, let it cool for a while.
Meanwhile, put all ingredients for the dressing in a small bowl and whisk until creamy.
In a large bowl combine the cooked quinoa, chickpeas, chopped roasted peppers, and parsley. Pour the dressing over the salad, give it a toss and enjoy!

Notes

You can cook the quinoa in advance or use leftover quinoa and assemble the salad quickly.
I used frozen roasted peppers, you can also use peppers from a jar or can, packed in water (not oil).
