If you were to ask me what my perfect meal prep line up is, it would definitely include my mediterranean inspired quinoa salad. The main reason is because it’s a meal I ALWAYS look forward to eating. Also, it’s super easy to make, only requires a few simple ingredients, and has the best tahini dressing on top. If you need something quick but nourishing to make this week, try it out! I also recommend pairing it with some cooked tofu, chicken, or chickpeas for some extra protein.
