INGREDIENTS
0.5 cup Cooked quinoa
0.5 cup Canned chickpeas
0.25 cup Shelled edamame
4 tbsp Hemp hearts
1 tbsp Nutritional yeast
1 cup Baby spinach
0.25 cup Cucumber
5 whole Cherry tomatoes
1 tbsp Lemon juice
1 tsp Extra virgin olive oil
0.25 tsp Dried oregano
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
PREPARATION
Rinse and drain the canned chickpeas and shelled edamame thoroughly under cold water.
Place the baby spinach in a large meal prep bowl to serve as the base.
Layer the pre-cooked quinoa, chickpeas, and edamame over the spinach.
Dice the cucumber and halve the cherry tomatoes, then add them to the bowl.
In a small mixing bowl or jar, whisk together the lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper until emulsified.
Drizzle the dressing evenly over the salad components.
Sprinkle the hemp hearts and nutritional yeast over the top for an added savory, nutty flavor.
Toss everything together gently to ensure the dressing coats all ingredients before serving.
