Get ready. This is going to blow your mind. 4 Ingredient Quinoa Salad – you officially have no more excuses for eating fast food for dinner. 
4 Ingredient Quinoa Salad
In a bowl, mix together:
- Cooked quinoa
- Salsa
- Hummus (any flavor)
- Chickpeas (canned – drained and rinsed)
And that’s it. Seriously! The proportions are up to you, but I used 1 cup of dry quinoa, cooked with water according to the package, 1 can of chickpeas, about 1 cup of salsa, and about 1/2 cup of hummus. I also added on some cracked pepper to taste.
Want to mix it up? Fun add-ins for this recipe are:
- Avocado
- Wilted or fresh arugula or baby spinach
- Chopped peppers
- A squirt of lemon juice
- A few shakes of cumin (amps up the Mexican theme)
Told you it was easy. I know hummus and salsa sounds like a weird combination, but I promise it’s delicious.
Enjoy!
I’ve heard of salsa and hummus together as a tasty combo but never thought to add it to quinoa. Sounds delicious!
this looks so yummy! i <3 mexican food and chickpeas & hummus are the best! definitely going to add some avocado when i make this!
One of the main reasons I’m obsessed with quinoa – simplicity! I usually just mix mine with a veggie and a bean and top with balsamic. So good!
Anne, you read my mind–I was thinking about cooking some quinoa today to have on-hand for the week. Thank you!
I love super easy and tasty meals like this!
Sounds so easy and delish! Can’t wait to try it!
I make something very similar to this but I put it in a whole wheat tortilla.
Yum! I have a feeling this will become my new go-to lunch!!!
Looks terrific. I’m going to try this.
How was the honeymoon

Looks wonderful, thanks! Can’t wait to try it. And, also can’t wait to hear about the honeymoon!
Wow! So easy and it sounds delicious! I have a holiday potluck to go to tomorrow and was panning on making a Quinoa dish – this sounds perfect, thank you!
I love hummus and I love salsa so I am sure this would be good!
This sounds awesome!! I am SO making this!
Anne, have you tried this with any other grains? I am vegan and LOVE quinoa, but recently realized that I’m allergic to it. I’m thinking I might try this with bulgur or farro. Thanks for the yummy inspiration!
I haven’t, but I bet any grain would work!
