Green Goddess Quinoa Summer Salad

By

  • 4

Ingredients

  • Add-ins:
  • 2 cups cooked quinoa (I cook mine in the rice cooker with broth)
  • 2 cups halved cherry tomatoes
  • 2 cups spinach leaves
  • 1/2 cup (or more, to taste) Magic Green Sauce or Avocado Cilantro Dressing
  • fresh Mozzarella cheese, cut into bite sized pieces
  • a few handfuls of crushed almonds or other nuts
  • grilled veggies like asparagus or zucchini
  • grilled chicken or other protein

Preparation

Step 1

Cook the quinoa in advance if you can - it tastes best when it's had a few hours to cool.
Toss all ingredients together to combine! If the Magic Green Sauce is too thick to toss together with the other ingredients, just add a little water or oil to the bowl and it should toss together smoothly.

NOTES:
I cook my quinoa in vegetable broth for more flavor, and I also cook twice the amount of quinoa I need for this recipe because I like to keep it in the fridge for the week!
