Preparation
- Rinse 1 cup of quinoa in a fine mesh strainer under cool running water. Transfer to a medium saucepan, add 2 cups of water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Drain and rinse 1 can of chickpeas, then dry thoroughly with paper towels. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper, spread on a baking sheet, and roast for 25 minutes, shaking halfway through.
- Whisk together ½ cup of sour cream, the juice and zest of ½ lemon, 1 teaspoon of honey, 1 teaspoon of mustard, with a pinch of salt and pepper until creamy and well combined.
- Dice 1 red bell pepper, slice 2 scallions, and chop the kale into bite-sized pieces.
- Cut a pomegranate in half and tap the skin with a wooden spoon to release the seeds.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooled quinoa, roasted chickpeas, chopped kale, diced red pepper, sliced scallions, and pomegranate seeds. Crumble in ½ cup of feta and drizzle with dressing, then toss gently.

Notes
Rinse quinoa thoroughly to avoid bitterness. Ensure chickpeas are dried well for maximum crunch. Adjust seasoning of dressing per taste. Serve immediately for best freshness.
