Chopped Quinoa Salad with Chive-Tahini Dressing
I love that it’s hearty enough to stand on its own, but it still feels light. It’s packed with protein, healthy fats and fresh greens, so it’s pretty much the ultimate meal. One thing I will say is that it doesn’t really keep for more than a day (especially because of the avocado), so if you want to make a big batch of it, I’d just do all the prep ahead of time and toss it together when you’re ready to enjoy it.
