Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

1

Cook the quinoa

  • Rinse the quinoa.

In a small sauce pot, combine the quinoa and 1 cup [2 cups] lightly salted water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until the quinoa is tender and the water is absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and fluff with a fork. 

While the quinoa is cooking, prepare the remaining ingredients. 

2

Prep and cook the chickpeas

  • Rinse the chickpeas and pat dry. Measure 1 cup [2 cups]; save the rest for another use.

In a medium frying pan over high heat, warm 1 tablespoon oil until hot but not smoking. Add the chickpeas, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly crisped, 3 to 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and as much paprika as you like, reserving some for the cabbage. Toss to coat and transfer to a plate.

While the chickpeas are cooking, prepare the remaining ingredients. 

3

Prep the remaining ingredients

  • Peel the apple if desired. Cut the apple into quarters lengthwise and cut away the core. Thinly slice the fruit. 
  • Cut a small corner from the beet packaging and drain off any excess liquid; cut the beets into 1-inch pieces. 

In a small bowl, stir together the cabbage and 1 tablespoon [2 TBL] tahini goddess dressing. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and as much of the remaining paprika as you like.

Serve

Transfer the quinoa to individual bowls and arrange the cabbage, chickpeas, apple, and beets on top. Spoon over as much of the remaining tahini goddess dressing as you like and serve any remaining dressing on the side.
