Steps:
- Cook the quinoa. Rinse quinoa under cold water and drain. Place in a small pot on the stove and add 3/4 cup water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cover. Cook about 15 minutes, just until tender and translucent, with the white tail removed from the seed. Remove from heat and pour into a large bowl. Stir and spread a bit to let cool some (but it does not need to cool completely).
- Add the chickpeas, scallions, and dill. Stir gently to combine.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and 1/2 teaspoon salt until combined. Pour over the quinoa mixture. Stir to combine.
- Taste and add more salt if desired. Flavors will develop more after the salad chills.
- Cover and refrigerate until it's time to eat. Best flavor is achieved after about 24 hours but it's still delicious right after mixing! Keeps about 4 days in the fridge.

LEMON-TAHINI QUINOA WITH RAW CHICKPEAS
On a slow day, I tried sprouting chickpeas. After eating quite a few, I tried planting a few. They grew into the most beautiful seedlings I have ever seen. And now I am harvesting fresh garbanzo beans. I tossed them into a quinoa salad I make frequently with fresh peas. The results were excellent.
