This Summer Quinoa Salad is one that works great for meal prep. It can be used for lunches during the week or a lighter dinner. This is a vegetarian salad, which can also be made vegan simply by swapping out the honey for agave in the vinaigrette. Despite the lack of animal protein in this salad, there’s plenty of plant-based protein.
