Description

A vibrant and nutritious salad featuring roasted Brussels sprouts, quinoa, chickpeas, and a tangy dressing, perfect for a healthy meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided or as necessary
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt, plus more if desired
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more if desired
  • ¾ cup dry quinoa or a quinoa/rice blend
  • water
  • one 15-ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 heaping cup fresh spinach, loosely packed
  • ½ cup dried cranberries
  • ⅓ cup crumbled goat cheese, or as desired
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • pinch granulated sugar, optional and to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 450F, lining a baking sheet with foil if desired. Add Brussels sprouts, drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Roast the sprouts cut side down for about 20 minutes or until they begin to char.
  3. Cook quinoa or quinoa/rice blend according to package directions, adding a tablespoon of olive oil to prevent sticking.
  4. Once the sprouts and quinoa are done, transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
  5. Add the chickpeas and spinach, stirring to combine, letting the spinach gently wilt from the heat.
  6. Add dried cranberries, goat cheese, lemon juice, and apple cider vinegar; stir to combine.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed; consider adding a pinch of sugar to balance flavors.
  8. Serve immediately or enjoy at room temperature or chilled.

Notes

  • For best results, use smaller Brussels sprouts for even roasting.
  • This salad can be enjoyed warm or cold, making it versatile for meal prep.
  • Feel free to substitute goat cheese with feta or omit for a vegan version.
