Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 °F
Cook quinoa according to package directions (you will cook about ½ cup dry quinoa).
Toss your washed, trimmed and thinly sliced Brussels sprouts in ½ tablespoon olive oil and some salt and pepper (go based on your preference). Add to parchment paper lined baking sheet for about 15 minutes, tossing halfway through.
Toss chickpeas with ½ tablespoon olive oil and garlic powder. Add to a parchment paper lined baking sheet and bake for about 20 minutes. Toss halfway through.
While everything is baking, make the dressing. Add all ingredients to a mason jar and shake to combine well. Taste and adjust based on your preference.
Let Brussels sprouts, quinoa and chickpeas cool about 5 minutes after they're done cooking. But you still want them to be warm when you assemble and serve.
Add brussel sprouts, quinoa and 1 cup chickpeas to a bowl and mix to combine. Add ¾ of the dressing and mix again.
To assemble, add the salad to a large bowl, top with more chickpeas, feta and drizzle the remainder of the dressing on top.
Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
MAKE IT VEGAN: omit the feta cheese or replace with a dairy-free cheeseMAKE AHEAD: Brussels sprouts hold up well, even with dressing added to them. So you could make this salad ahead of time and enjoy it as lunch for the week.
