Ingredients

2 cups water
1 cup red quinoa, or more to taste
1 pint cherry tomatoes
¼ cup butter
6 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 shallot, finely chopped
2 lemon, juiced
½ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
¼ cup olive oil
2 (15 ounce) cans chickpeas, rinsed and drained
3 ½ bunches kale, leaves stripped from stems and coarsely chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 (6.5 ounce) jar artichoke hearts, drained, or to taste
½ cup crumbled feta cheese

Directions

Bring water and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
Bring another pot of water to a boil. Add tomatoes, reduce heat, and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
Heat butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Saute garlic and shallot in the hot butter with lemon juice until softened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
Transfer tomatoes, garlic mixture, Parmesan cheese, and 1/4 cup olive oil to the bowl of a food processor. Blend for 30 seconds.
Mix quinoa, chickpeas, kale, and bell pepper in a mixing bowl. Top with tomato dressing, garnish with artichokes and feta cheese, and serve.

Cook's Note:

You can use any kind of beans that you like.
