Fresh and satisfying, this salad really hits the spot. Full of fresh herbs and veggies, it is simple and quick to prepare. I especially love quinoa for is subtle flavour and delicateness.

2 medium cucumbers, diced
1 can of chickpeas drained and rinsed
1/3 medium red onion, diced
1/3 c. cilantro, finely chopped
1/3 c. fresh basil, finely chopped
Dressing

3 tbs oil oil
1 tsp agave syrup

Rinse and put quinoa to a small pot with 1 cup water. Bring to boil, then cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes. Mix and the chopped vegetables and herbs in salad bowl. Mix dressing in separate bowl. Once quinoa is cooked, add to salad bowl with dressing and toss everything together.
