INGREDIENTS
1 cup bulgur or white quinoa
1/3 medium red onion chopped
1 cucumber chopped
1/2 cup mint chopped
1/2 cup parsley chopped
15 oz can chickpeas drained, rinsed and dried

INSTRUCTIONS
Boil 2 cups of water in a small pot and add bulgur or quinoa. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for about 10 minutes until grain has absorbed all the moisture. When done cooking, remove from pot and place in a shallow pan or plate to cool while assembling the rest of the salad.
In a large bowl add red onion, cucumber, mint, parsley, garbanzo beans, pistachios and feta.
In a jar or liquid measuring cup, mix olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
Add cooked bulgur or quinoa, add dressing and mix well. Add extra pistachios and/or feta to the top if desired and enjoy!
