Ingredients

  • 1 cup Pacific Foods® Organic Chicken Bone Broth with Sea Salt
  • 1/2 cup uncooked quinoa, rinsed
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 head romaine lettuce, roughly chopped
  • 1 can (about 15 ounces) chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1 cucumber, seeded and chopped
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 avocado, pitted, peeled and diced

Instructions

  • Step 1

    Add broth and quinoa to a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 15 minutes. Once fully cooked, remove from heat and let sit for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork. Pour quinoa into a bowl and let cool for 15 to 20 minutes before adding to the salad. 

  • Step 2

    Prepare dressing: in a small bowl whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, mustard, garlic, sea salt and black pepper. Set aside. 

  • Step 3

    Prepare the chopped salad: to a large salad bowl add the cooked quinoa, lettuce, chickpeas, blueberries, cucumber and tomatoes. Drizzle with dressing and toss to combine. Top with the avocado and serve!
