Drain and rinse a can of organic chickpeas.

Marinate the chickpeas in extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and the diced red onion.

Add a good amount of paprika to the chickpeas and combine.

Prepare the creamy hummus dressing by combining your favorite hummus, extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir until combined and creamy.

Assemble the salad by starting with the creamy hummus dressing, then adding cucumber, tomato, cooked and cooled quinoa, feta, marinated chickpeas, and topping with rocket.

Store the salads in the fridge for up to 4 days.
