1 cup cooked quinoa (about 1/4 cup dry)
1/4 cup canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans), rinsed and drained
1/2 medium green bell pepper, chopped
1/2 cup sliced mushroom
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 teaspoon sliced almonds
1 tablespoon raisins
1 tablespoon crumbled feta cheese
Prepare quinoa according to package directions (quinoa works well microwaved). Heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Saute mushrooms for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add peppers, saute for an addition 5-6 minutes, or until vegetables begin to soften. Mix cooked vegetables together with quinoa, chickpeas, almonds, raisins, and feta cheese. Let marinate together in refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
