Hearty, fresh and lemony! We really liked this salad and found it to be quite healthy tasting. There are a lot of hearty ingredients inside including quinoa, bulgur, onion, bell pepper, cucumber and tomatoes.
Open the plastic lid and give the salad a quick stir to freshen up.
Serve straight from the container or scoop into a salad bowl for a prettier presentation.
Recipe Notes:
The quinoa salad will have a best-before date on the label of the package and can be stored in the fridge until that date. Here’s how to store it:
REFRIGERATE – Leftovers can be kept in the container that it was purchased in. Be sure to seal tightly to ensure maximum freshness. This will keep until the expiry date on the package label.
Can You Freeze It? No, I wouldn’t recommend it. The vegetables will soften and change in consistency. The salad just won’t taste the same.
Tips For Serving Leftovers – Give the salad a quick stir before you plan to serve. You can also drizzle freshly squeezed lemon juice or add your favorite dressing.
Nutrition info: There are 280 calories per cup. With 9g fat, 39g carbohydrates, and 12g protein.We really liked this salad and didn’t feel like it needed much for toppings or variations. However, it would be so easy to customize and build a bigger salad. Here are a few ideas of what you could add for more flavor:
CHEESE – Add cubes of your favorite cheese including cheddar cheese, Monterey jack, or crumbled feta cheese.
PROTEIN – This would be so easy to add cooked chicken, crispy tofu, shrimp or steak bites for more protein.
CROUTONS – Add 1 cup of croutons for a nice crunch.
Important Note: I wanted to point out that because there is bulgur, this salad is not gluten-free. If you want a gluten-free option then try my homemade version.
