1 cucumber, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 yellow bell pepper, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
1 cup cooked chickpeas
1 cup cooked lentils
1 cup cooked quinoa
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Juice of 2 lemons
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
In a large salad bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, cucumber, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, green bell pepper, red onion, cooked chickpeas, cooked lentils, and cooked quinoa.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, ground cumin, salt, and pepper.
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss well to coat.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley and cilantro over the salad and toss again.
Allow the salad to sit for about 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the Moroccan-style mixed salad as a refreshing and nutritious meal on its own or as a side dish.
