Jackie Akerberg from @jackfruitfulkitchen took full advantage of fresh and canned produce for a bright, nutrition-filled salad! If you're looking for a meat option, try adding grilled chicken to top it off.
Directions
-
Combine quinoa and broth or water in a saucepan and cook according to the package. Set aside to cool. Rinse out pan and fill with water.
-
Bring to a boil and add green beans. Cook for 2 min until they are vibrant green and transfer immediately to an ice bath to chill. Drain.
-
Add all salad ingredients to a large bowl. Combine the ingredients for the dressing in a jar and drizzle over salad. Toss to combine and season to taste with additional salt and pepper if desired.
