Fresh Quinoa Salad

Prep Time10 minutes
Total Time10 minutes
Course: Lunch-To-Go
Servings: 1 serving
Author: Heather Nicholds

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup kale, chopped
  • 3/4 cup cooked quinoa
  • 1/2 cup cucumber, chopped
  • 1/2 cup zucchini, thinly sliced

Instructions

  • Toss the quinoa and veggies together with your favorite dressing, and serve over the spinach.

Notes

If you’ve never had raw zucchini before, either grate it or cut it into very thin slices, and you can toss it with a bit of salt to soften even more. Putting it together early allows the dressing to soften the zucchini, and flavor the quinoa.
This goes perfectly with the Balsamic-Tahini Dressing or the Lemon Balsamic Vinaigrette.
