This is a recipe Cody & I discovered last spring & have been obsessed with ever since!
It only takes about 30 minutes to toss together & is just Sooo delicious!
It's so fresh & light and just tasted like spring time in a jar!
Mason Jar's are a cute way to prep your Salad's in advance & is awesome as a portable, leak-proof (because there is seriously nothing worse than having a Salad explode in your purse/bag...), On The Go Lunch, or to have on hand for a quick snack! ' You will hear it again & again - having healthy meals & snacks pre-made like this makes it much easier for us to reach for them! Fast Food' doesn't have to be bad food!!
Just Shake & Enjoy!
All You Need:
- Quinoa (of any kind)
- 1 Cucumber - chopped
- 1 Sweet Pepper - chopped
- Cherry / Grape Tomatoes
- Corn (roughly 1cup)
- Oil & Viniger dressing (we use one with Italian seasonings)
- Mason Jars (this can be done in any container(s) you have on hand)
Here we Go...
- You are going to want to begin by cooking your quinoa based on the type /preparation process specified - they are all a little different.
- Once you've got this on the go - begin preparing your fresh/seasonal vegetables. Corn & Grape / Cherry tomatoes are great for this type of salad - cut larger veggies into bite sized chunks.
- Once your quinoa is done - transfer to a bowl and place in the fridge to cool.
- Begin layering your salad; beginning with the quinoa then proceed to layer your veggies. I recommend layering the smaller ones closer to the bottom (it will shake/mix easier)
- package your salad dressing in a separate mason/Tupperware to prevent any sog'. We like to use an Italian oil & vinegar dressing in ours!
- When you are ready to eat - just poor in your dressing - Shake & Enjoy!
