The chickpeas are spiced with a blend of paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper. This simple seasoning combo makes the chickpeas warm and flavorful.

Tips for Making This Roasted Potato Quinoa Salad

Be sure to not overcook your quinoa, as you don’t want the quinoa to be mushy for this salad. When you transfer it to the mixing bowl, spread it out a bit so that the quinoa can cool down after cooking. The quinoa doesn’t have to be completely cool when you mix in the other ingredients and dressing, but you’ll want it most of the way there.

If making this salad for a meal prep or to have leftovers, the tomatoes will taste their best if you slice and add them in the day you’ll be eating. They lose a bit of flavor if they’re in the fridge overnight.

This recipe uses vegan mayo in the dressing to bring a touch of creaminess, but feel free to skip it and replace it with more extra virgin olive oil.
