Quinoa is when it is fluffy and all of the water has been absorbed and cooked off. Let quinoa cool. While quinoa is cooking you can chop your basil, turnip greens, and zest and juice your orange.
Whisk together dressing ingredients (orange juice and zest, olive oil, and basil) in a small bowl.
In a large bowl, combine the quinoa, turnip greens, and chickpeas. Add the dressing and toss to combine.
