Składniki i zamienniki
All you need to make this quinoa salad are:
- Gotowana komosa ryżowa – You can use leftover cooked quinoa or cook the quinoa and cool it down before using it in the recipe. Follow my instructions on how to cook quinoa in a rice cooker for a quick, easy way to make fluffy quinoa.
- Ciecierzyca w puszce – Also known as garbanzo beans. Drain and rinse them before use. It doesn’t need to be cooked, as canned chickpeas are always pre-cooked.
- Pomidory koktajlowe – Finely diced.
- Ogórek – Peeled or unpeeled, that’s up to you. Some people don’t digest the cucumber skin very well, so you may want to peel it off. Cut them into cubes.
- Czerwona papryka or any color yellow bell pepper is sweeter and goes well in this quinoa salad.
- Red Onion – or yellow onions.
- Oliwki Kalamata – pitted and halved.
- Mennica – Or fresh parsley. Pick your favorite herb.
For the quinoa salad lemon dressing, you need the following:
- Oliwa z oliwek – I choose locally-sourced extra-virgin olive oil.
- Sok cytrynowy – Either from fresh lemons or store-bought lemon juice.
- Syrop klonowy – Or any liquid sweetener of your choice, like brown rice syrup or coconut nectar.
- Tahini – Hulled tahini is less bitter. Feel free to use almond butter or peanut butter as a swap if you don’t have tahini or simply skip the ingredient.
- Cynamon – This is optional, but I love the combination of cinnamon in the dressing and mint in the salad.
- Salt and Black Pepper – do smaku.
- Czosnek w proszku – or fresh crushed garlic.

- Vegan Almond Ricotta Cheese
- Vegan Feta Cheese
- Drizzle of Cucumber Dip

- Bez tahini – Tahini is made from sesame seeds and adds a lovely flavor and creamy texture to the dressing. You can replace the tahini with almond butter or skip it from the recipe.
