Can I meal prep this recipe?

Absolutely! This grain salad is truly the perfect recipe to prepare ahead of time. Since this salad has no lettuce and mainly hearty ingredients it actually keeps extremely well. It may even be better a day or two later because all the flavors can really develop. Check out my storing suggestions above to see tips for maintaining the salad's maximum freshness!

Is the Jennifer Aniston Quinoa Salad healthy?

I am not a dietician or nutritionist, but yes in my opinion this salad is a very healthy option. It is loaded with good-for-you ingredients! Quinoa is actually not a whole grain, but a seed. It's got fiber, protein, zinc, and even antioxidants! It is also gluten free with vitamins and minerals. Chickpeas have great health benefits too! The high protein legume is a rich source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber too. Not to mention you get tons of healthy fats from the pistachios and extra virgin olive oil in this salad. Overall I think it is both nutritious and delicious! It is well balanced and makes for a satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Quinoa Salad

1 bag Success Boil-In-Bag Tri-Color Quinoa, or 1 heaping cup of cooked quinoa
1 can chickpeas, drained & rinsed
1/2 English cucumber, chopped
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/3 cup chopped pistachios

1/4 cup finely chopped fresh mint
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley

Lemon Vinaigrette

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 lemon, juiced
2 tsp pure maple syrup
2 tsp dijon mustard

Instructions

First prepare the Success Boil-In-Bag Tri-Color Quinoa according to the package directions. Set aside. I recommend placing in the fridge or freezer once cooked to chill before combining with the other salad ingredients.
Then prepare the lemon vinaigrette. Add the olive oil, lemon juice, pure maple syrup, and dijon mustard to a small jar or mixing bowl. Combine thoroughly. Add salt and black pepper to taste.
Next to a large mixing bowl add the cooked Success Boil-in-Bag Tri-Color Quinoa, chickpeas, cucumber, feta cheese, pistachios, red onion, fresh mint, and fresh parsley. Pour the lemon vinaigrette on top. Toss to combine.
Serve and enjoy! I recommend chilling for 30 minutes before if you can.
