Garlicky Quinoa and Garbanzo Bean Salad

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup uncooked quinoa
• 1 cup water
• 1 (15 ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained
• 3/4 cup chopped broccoli
• 1 clove garlic, minced, or to taste
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon dried tarragon
• 2 teaspoons coarse-grain mustard
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• Salt and black pepper to taste

Directions

Bring the quinoa and water to a boil in a small saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the quinoa is tender, and the water has been absorbed, about 15 to 20 minutes.

Scrape the cooked quinoa into a mixing bowl. Add the garbanzo beans, broccoli, garlic, lemon juice, tarragon, mustard, and olive oil. Stir until evenly mixed. Season to taste with salt and black pepper before serving.
