So as you might know, I am trying to eat healthier and to me, this means eating more fresh vegetables, whole grains, legumes, healthy fats and some protein.

I’m trying to have a big salad every day and this is the one I made last week. We used quinoa for the grain and I loved it! It’s crunchy, it’s delicious and it does great in salads, especially with avocado.

This is a healthy cold lunch recipe – which means once you make it, you don’t need to heat it up. I recommend making it as close to the time you’re going to eat, because when it comes to salads – fresh is always better.

This meal is filled with fresh vegetables and delicious flavors – I added some feta cheese, some olives and garlic! It tastes good and it makes you feel good too!

This recipe doesn’t use 5 or less ingredients, in fact, I think the ingredient list is quite long, but it’s worth it. A little bit of something here, a little bit of something there – you can make more salads like this one during the week by using the same things. That’s what I did. Here are the main ingredients:

Quinoa and Cabbage make the base of this salad. If you have a problem with these two – feel free to use any grain and any green leafy vegetables you enjoy. Some examples for grains would be rice, millet or bulgur – cook them, let them cool off and then use them in the salad. For the leafy greens, you can use lettuce, spinach, kale, arugula – whatever makes you happy and full!

Basil & Parsley. We use a little bit of both herbs, but if you only want to use one – basil would be my choice. It adds a very nice flavor.

Olives, Feta Cheese & Avocado. These ingredients make the salad complete – we don’t make any dressing, so these are essential! In case you can’t tolerate dairy – you can leave the feta cheese out, it still will taste good.
