Quinoa: A hearty, plant-based source of protein. Quinoa is so good for you. It has fiber, iron, antioxidants, and the best part is, it’s so easy to make and prep in advance.
Herbs: I used fresh oregano and mint for this recipe, but you can experiment with different fresh herbs you have on hand or are trying to use up.
Avocado: Avocadoes are a healthy fat that are not only filling, but also have a lot of benefits. They are a great source of potassium, fiber, folate, and not to mention they’re so good and creamy.
How to make Mediterranean quinoa salad:
- Into a large bowl, combine all the ingredients apart from the avocado and stir till combined.
- You can store it in the refrigerator in individual containers or 1 large container.
- When serving, serve with the desired amount of avocado on top or tossed into your serving size.
- I recommend 1 avocado for 4 servings.
Expert Tips & FAQ:
Storage: This salad will last up to 5 days in a tightly sealed container in the fridge.
Avocado: Be sure to only add the avocado when serving/eating. If you’re doing meal prep style then add just before you eat it.
