Ingredients

Scale

For the salad:

  • 1/2 cup quinoa, dry and rinsed
  • 1 cup edamame, shelled
  • 1/2 cup parsley, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup dill, roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup green onions (scallions), chopped
  • 1 cup green grapes, halved
  • 1 avocado, pitted, flesh removed, chopped
  • 2 cups arugula
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano

For the dressing:

  • Juice of 4 limes
  • 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • Pinch salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare quinoa according to package instructions. Let cool and set aside.
  2. While cooking the quinoa, prepare the dressing in a large bowl. Whisk together lime juice, olive oil, salt and pepper.
  3. Add salad ingredients to the large bowl.
  4. When quinoa is cooled, add it to the salad and toss to combine. You can enjoy immediately, but it tastes better after the flavors meld in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Notes

Note: Store leftovers in a covered air-tight container for up to 5 days (but I don’t think it will last that long!).
