Green Bean Quinoa Salad

This is a tasty, filling desk lunch option that checks all of the boxes! If you feel you need more protein, add some chopped-up hard-boiled eggs.

Chef Tips:

  • Rinse quinoa before use.
  • If you can, source fine green beans: they are thinner and cook quicker.
  • Tamari is a gluten-free version of the delicious soy sauce. If you have no gluten allergies, use regular soy sauce.
