Quinoa and Chickpea Salad (Under 400 kcal):

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup cooked quinoa
• 1/2 cup cooked chickpeas (or canned, rinsed and drained)

• 1/2 small cucumber, diced

• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/4 cup diced tofu or tempeh

Instructions:

1. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, chickpeas, bell pepper, cucumber, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and cilantro.
2. If using, add the diced tofu or tempeh to the bowl.
3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
4. Pour the dressing over the quinoa and chickpea mixture, and toss well to combine.
5. Adjust the seasoning to taste.

By reducing the quantities of quinoa, chickpeas, and other ingredients, we can create a lighter version of the recipe while still maintaining a good balance of flavors and protein. Feel free to adjust the portion sizes according to your dietary needs and preferences.
