Step 1

Rinse the quinoa in a fine-mesh strainer under cold water until the water runs clear. Add the quinoa, chickpeas, garlic, 1 1/2 cups warm water, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and black pepper to the Instant Pot. Make sure the quinoa is submerged, then place the frozen spinach on top.

Step 2

Secure the lid and cook on HIGH pressure for 1 minute. Allow a natural release for 5 minutes, then carefully quick release any remaining pressure before opening the lid.

Step 3

While the quinoa cooks, make the tzatziki sauce by stirring together the Greek yogurt, shredded cucumbers, lemon juice, dill, mint, olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a medium bowl.

Step 4

Stir the quinoa mixture until the spinach and chickpeas are evenly combined. Divide into bowls and top with grape tomatoes and feta cheese. Drizzle with the tzatziki sauce and serve with lemon wedges.
