  • 1 whole Red bell pepper
  • 2 whole Carrots
  • 3 stalks Green onions

Instructions:

  1. Rinse the quinoa under cold water until the water runs clear. Place quinoa and water in a medium-sized pot and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for about 15 minutes, or until quinoa is cooked and fluffy.

  4. Once the quinoa is cooked, let it cool for a few minutes, then add it to a large salad bowl.
  5. Add the chopped veggies, edamame, and peanuts to the quinoa. Pour dressing over the salad and toss to combine.
  6. Refrigerate the salad for at least an hour before serving to let the flavors meld together. Enjoy!
