Cook your quinoa! Give it a rinse in a mesh colander and add 2 cups of water to a pan. If you want to be fancy, use broth instead! Bring quinoa and water to a boil, then reduce to low heat and simmer for about 15 minutes.
While your quinoa is cooking, chop up the cucumber and add it to a bowl with the drained chickpeas. Finally, add the pistachios and raisins.
Prep your herbs! Cut everything up and place them in a bowl with the other ingredients.
Let the quinoa cool, and add olive oil and lemon juice. Mix with the rest of the ingredients and add salt and pepper to taste.
