Summer Quinoa Salad

This is so easy and fresh!

I swapped out a couple ingredients that I didn’t have, for what I already had at home …

And I encourage my clients to play and vamp and swap all the time 💚 Food, eating, cooking, and life are so much easier when you feel freedom around food, and empowered to easily create healthy, delicious things on the fly!

This salad is …

🌿 vegan

🌿 gluten free

🌿 no oil

🌿 delicious on a big pile of spinach

🌿 great to have as leftovers to bring to work for lunch or to share at a cookout!

Ingredients:

~ 1 cup cooked quinoa (I cook mine in a rice cooker with veggie broth instead of water)

~ 1/2 cup cucumber

~ 1/2 cup tomatoes (I used mini sweet peppers because I didn’t have tomatoes)

~ 1/2 cup garbanzo beans / chickpeas (I used navy beans since that’s what I had)

~ 1/4 cup flat leaf parsley

~ 1/4 cup onion

~ optional: 1/2 cup olives

Dressing:

~ 1/4 cup tahini (next time I’ll use less … like around 3 tbsp total)

~ juice of 1/2 a lemon

~ 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

~ 1 tbsp maple syrup

~ sea salt to taste

~ 1/2 tsp black pepper

~ 3-5 tbsp water

Instructions:

~ mix all the ingredients for the dressing together and set aside

~ cut up the vegetables

~ add all the remaining ingredients into a bowl & combine with the dressing

~ store in the refrigerator

Eating more variation of yummy foods than they ever have, developing new relationships with food, and gaining freedom from food scarcity mindsets, food stress, stress eating, emotional eating, and other unhealthy patterns.

It’s deeper than just a quick, easy wfpbno vegan meal … And at the same time, that’s also one of the perfect, attainable first steps forward into how you would rather feel, how you want to feel, how you want to live!

Does this resonate with you?

I can help you gently make the shift from feeling “so over the really unhealthy methods of coping with change” into starting to see & feel real changes in your body, motivated to keep going, relaxed about how well you’re doing, and really confident about crushing it!
