Chickpea and Quinoa Salad

Salad:
• Lettuce
• Baby spinach leaves
• Avocado
• Cucumber
• Grape or cherry tomatoes
• Red, yellow, and green peppers
• 1/2 Can of chickpeas, drained, rinsed, shelled
• 1 Package of flavoured quinoa ( I used French-style flavoured quinoa)

Dressing:
• 2 Tbsp olive oil
• 4 Tbsp rice vinegar
• 1/4 Tsp dry mustard
• 1 Tbsp brown sugar
• 1 Garlic clove, minced
• 1/8 Tsp salt
• Pinch of ground pepper
• Pinch of cayanne pepper

NOTE: If you wanted, I suggest grilling some honey glazed (or honey mustard) chicken to add. Also if you wanted to add some cheese to the salad, I would suggest grilling some haloumi cheese.
