2 tablespoons canola oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon smoke paprika
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
2 packages (10 oz.) frozen quinoa, prepared according to package directions or 4 cups cooked quinoa
4 cups spinach
1 cup diced tomatoes

Bottled Greek vinaigrette

Directions

Step 1
Heat oven to 400°F. On a rimmed baking sheet toss beans with oil.

Step 2
Roast 45-50 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beans are brown and crisp. Toss with garlic, paprika and salt; cook an additional 2-3 minutes. Allow to cool.

Step 3
To assemble, divide quinoa and spinach in serving bowls. Top with garbanzo beans, tomatoes, cucumbers, feta cheese and olives. Drizzle with desired amount of dressing. Refrigerate leftovers.
