Ingredients
Quinoa and Veggies
- 1 1/2 cups raw quinoa (cooked according to directions)
- 12 cups raw veggies (lettuce, spinach, tomatoes, broccoli, cucumbers, etc.)
- 1 tablespoon butter (omit or use coconut oil for vegan)
Dressing
- 2/3 cup lemon juice
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic (or more; minced)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 20 grinds black pepper
- 2 tablespoons dried parsley (or you could do 1/2 cup fresh)
- 1/2 tablespoon onion powder
Instructions
For Quinoa and Veggies:
- Cook quinoa according to package directions.
- Stir in butter.
- Set aside to cool.
- Wash veggies.
- Chop veggies if necessary.
For Dressing:
- Add in the veggies and then pour at least 1 cup of the dressing over the top and stir well to combine.
Notes
- Vegan / Dairy-free: Use coconut oil for the butter or omit butter.
- Veggies: You can use any vegetables you like, but the ones pictured are a great flavor combination.
- Dressing: 1 cup of dressing makes for a nicely-flavored salad but we like our dishes with more oomph so we add more dressing to the salad.
- Temperature: If you choose to not let the quinoa cool before adding the veggies, you will end up slightly steaming the veggies. If you use lettuce or similar leafies, the result will be a wilted salad, which we really enjoy.
