Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Prepare the quinoa, cooking it to your preferred doneness and set is aside to cool.
  2. While the quinoa is cooking, prepare the rest of the ingredients for the salad. Then, prepare the dressing by whisking or shaking all of the salad dressing ingredients together - set aside.
  3. To make the walnut topping, add all of the ingredients to a food processor and pulse until combined and the almonds are very small pieces.
  4. To assemble, use a 750ml / 26oz jar. Divide the ingredients between the two jars, starting with the dressing at the bottom followed by the diced jalapenos, halved tomatoes, cubed mango, chopped basil, cooked quinoa, orange segments, edamame beans and topping with the crumble.

Notes

  • Prepare your salad a few days in advance! It can keep in the fridge for 3-4 days.
  • Instead of prepping in jars, mix all of the ingredients together as a delicious side salad.
  • If you'd like to amp this salad up further, add in your favourite chopped protein.
