    Cup of Yum
  1. Cook quinoa according to package directions. Once cooked, set aside to cool.
  2. Meanwhile, prep the veggies and herbs.
  3. Make the dressing by adding the dressing ingredients to a food processor and processing until smooth (I drizzle the water in while it's running).
  4. Once the quinoa is cool, add it to a large salad bowl along with the other ingredients. Toss and season with extra salt & pepper if needed.

Notes

  • Great for meal prep so you have meals throughout the week.
