Instructions
Prep Fresh Ingredients: Some items store well when chopped and prepped beforehand. This can save you time when putting together a quick and healthy meal. Others, like cucumber, herbs, and apple, are best chopped right before serving.
Cook Quinoa: Prepare quinoa in batches ahead of time for a quick and accessible complete protein source, or prepare while you chop. 15 minutes on the stove.
Rotisserie Chicken: If you are using rotisserie chicken, store it in the fridge until you're ready. Then simply warm up a few pieces on the stove with some butter or healthy oil and a small splash of water.
Assemble the Bowl: Layer your ingredients for the most delightful presentation. I start with greens on the bottom, I then mix in some sauce with the quinoa and put a mound on top.
Enjoy Your Nutrient-Packed Salad Bowl: Savor the natural flavors of fresh ingredients.
