Vegan, Gluten-Free
Serves 8-10
Ingredients
1.5 cups Bob's Red Mill Organic Quinoa Whole Grain
1 400g can Chickpeas
1 400g can Black beans
1 cup quartered Cherry tomatoes
3 Persian Cucumbers, diced
½ cup finely chopped Red onion
¼ cup firmly packed Fresh parsley, chopped
2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
Juice of 1 lemon
1 tablespoon zesty Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon Maple syrup
1 teaspoon Cumin
1 teaspoon dried Oregano
½ teaspoon Salt
¼ teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
Instructions
1. Add 1.5 cups of quinoa into a large saucepan. Add 3 cups of water and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to a low simmer, cover, and cook for 12-15 minutes — until quinoa is tender and fluffy, and all the water is absorbed. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool completely.
2. Rinse the chickpeas and black beans in a colander until the water runs clear. Transfer to a large salad bowl. Add the tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and parsley. Mix well. Fold in the cooled quinoa.
3. In a small bowl, whisk the olive oil, lemon, mustard, maple syrup, cumin, oregano, salt and pepper. Drizzle over the salad, and mix to fully cover salad ingredients. Cover, and store in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Lasts 3-4 days in the refrigerator.

TIP OF THE WEEK
Whether you’re off to school this year or you have a child who is, learn how to stay safe this school year with these 5 tips to help you avoid getting sick!
Drink Lots of Water: Water helps your body to flush out toxins and helps keep you hydrated, so that your body can fight off any potential infection. Make sure to pack a water bottle in your school bag, to ensure you’re drinking enough water during the school day -- and add some unsweetened flavour drops if you find drinking more water challenging!
Take a Multivitamin: Being deficient in crucial vitamins and minerals can suppress your immune system, making you more vulnerable to getting sick. Taking an Everyday Multivitamin can help ensure your body is working it’s best! Available in men’s, women’s, and kids.
Pack Healthy Snacks: Fill your lunchbox with healthy snacks, made from fruits & vegetables! Fruits & vegetables are packed with Vitamin C and antioxidants that can help boost your immune system and keep your body working its best! Snack on gummies, bars, crackers, and bites made with real, organic fruits and vegetables!
Get a Good Night's Sleep: Lack of sleep can weaken your immune system, making your body vulnerable to germs and viruses. Ensure that you are turning off all electronics an hour before going to bed and getting a full 8 hours of rest. If you have trouble falling asleep, drinking a calming nighttime tea can also help you to relax and fall asleep sooner!
Carry the Essentials On You: Be prepared for school by carrying around hand sanitizer, and having Beekeeper’s Naturals Propolis Throat Spray on hand for when you feel that slight tingle in your throat starting.
