So. I’m pretty sure all of you are well aware that chanukah is right around the corner. And I’m fairly sure that if you spend any amount of time on the internet, you’ve been seeing a plethora of fried treats, latkes, donuts, and the like. I just shared this adorable looking chanukah cookie with you last week, and believe me when I tell you that I have some crazy amazing chanukah recipes coming up right here on this blog.
But. Before all the fried stuff and calorie dense foods take over, I thought it would be wise to share a simple, easy, and really delicious salad with you guys. This is a great lunch recipe, perfect supper companion to some grilled chicken or fish, or even for a shabbos meal. I’m sure if you’ve been following this blog for awhile, you know how I like to roast ALL.THE.VEGETABLES. And this salad is really no exception. Add in protein packed quinoa and some chickpeas, and you’ve got a well-rounded, delicious meal that’s healthy. Oh, and it lasts for a day or two in the fridge. Awesome, right?
Go make yourself a batch of Roasted Vegetable, Chickpea and Quinoa Salad. Then celebrate with a donut or something.

This recipe sounds yum!!! I hope to try it soon. I’ll probably roast the chickpeas with the veggies, though. They get a great nutty flavor and (if they go long enough) add some crunch, as well.
Thanks for the great ideas!!
I love the idea yet zucchini and eggplant are my least favorite veggies. Any substitute suggestions?
Whichever veggies you like!
Whenever I’ve seen recipes for eggplant, they always say to salt and soak them. Do I need to do that? Do I need to peel them? I have very little experience cooking eggplant though I’d love to learn to cook them.
Thanks.
