Ingredients

  • 1 cup cooked quinoa (you may opt to serve this dish with warm or chilled quinoa)
  • 1/4 cup canned chickpeas
  • 1/4 cup cucumber, chopped
  • 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, chopped
  • 1/4 cup green pepper, chopped
  • 2 Tbsp red onion, chopped
  • 2 Tbsp kalamata olives
  • 3 whole pepperoncini peppers
  • 2 Tbsp block feta cheese, crumbled
  • 2 Tbsp fresh dill and fresh mint
  • 2 Tbsp tzatziki sauce recipe linked below
  • 1 Tbsp spicy citrus tahini sauce recipe follows

For the tzatziki sauce:

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup English cucumber
  • 1/4 cup fresh dill
  • 2 cloves garlic, grated
  • 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1/2 tsp salt

For the spicy citrus tahini sauce:

  • 2 Tbsp tahini
  • 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic, roughly chopped
  • 2 tsp jalapeno, roughly chopped
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  • Add cooked quinoa to a serving bowl. Top with chickpeas, cucumber, tomatoes, green pepper, red onion, and olives. You can arrange the ingredients in small piles or else just add them to the bowl if you're planning on tossing it together before serving.
  • Add whole pepperoncinis and feta cheese. Sprinkle with fresh herbs. Add a dollop of the tzatziki and spicy citrus tahini sauce. Enjoy!

For the tzatziki sauce:

  • Using a box grater, grate the cucumber. Place in a fine mesh strainer and add about 1/4 teaspoon of salt over the cucumber. Set over the sink or a bowl to release some of its liquid. After a few minutes, place in a piece of cheesecloth to really ring out as much liquid as you can.
  • Mix the remaining ingredients. Add cucumber once all liquid has been squeezed out, stirring to combine.

For the spicy citrus tahini sauce:

  • In a small food processor or blender, add all ingredients. You can scale the ingredients if you'd like to make a larger batch of this sauce, too!
  • Blend until garlic and jalapeno are super fine: you want the sauce as smooth as possible. Sauce will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
