Instructions
Step 1
Add quinoa and water (or vegetable broth) to the Instant Pot and stir to prevent sticking. Pressure cook on high for 3 minutes (it will take about 8 minutes for the Instant Pot to pressurize before cooking begins).
Step 2
Once the timer goes off, allow to naturally release for 10 minutes, then release any remaining pressure. Carefully remove lid once steam has fully escaped. Fluff and let sit uncovered.
Step 3
Drain and rinse the chickpeas.
Step 4
Make the dressing.
Step 5
Stir chickpeas and dressing into the warm quinoa so it absorbs the flavors.
Step 6
Chop cucumbers, tomatoes, onion, olives, and parsley.
Step 7
Either serve family-style with quinoa/chickpea mixture in one bowl and toppings in separate bowls, or build bowls for everyone.
Step 8
Sprinkle feta and parsley on top before eating.
