What time is it? Kaileigh's lunch break at work! EEK! I practically run off of the floor to the back where my BIG, delicious, filling, wonderful salad had been calling my name my whole shift so far. Alas, lunchtime!!!!! I cannot wait! I feel so incredibly proud of myself that I prepared this instead of just grabbing a granola bar and a banana (which is good, but not AS good...nothing beats a good salad). I pat myself on my back and dive into salad sanctuary! How, may you ask, did I pull off preparing this masterpiece for future consumption? All you need are the ingredients, my friends- let the flavors do the rest!
Quinoa Protein Salad:
Ingredients:
- lots and lots of lettuce
- .5 cups cooked quinoa
- 2tbsp hemp seeds
- .5 cut avocado
- .5 cup cooked garbanzo beans
- one wet nori sheet (what is usually used to roll up sushi)- drip water on it and rip it into pieces
- a handful of shredded carrots
- small handful of pumpkin seeds
- 2tsp sesame oil and balsamic vinegar for the dressing
Toss everything into one big bowl or tupperware if you are on the go! I estimated on the amounts of ingredients and proportions, but you can do whatever tastes best to you! This makes a delicious and healthy lunch or dinner and provides you with bunches of protein, fiber, iron, and essential fatty acids!!!! Trust me, it DEFINITELY beats a granola bar!
