Prepare Quinoa

Prepare ¾ cup dry quinoa according to package instructions. You can prepare with water or broth depending on your preference.

If you're going to be eating with guests or at work, I recommend white quinoa. Red and multi color varieties can get stuck in your teeth. 😅

Prepare Salmon

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Defrost salmon if needed by following package instructions. Open salmon package and dump directly onto a parchment lined oven safe baking sheet or dish.
• Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper.
• Bake for 16 minutes. Take a fork and check the center of the salmon piece. It should pull apart easily and be opaque through the center.

Slice cucumber, radishes, and tomatoes.

Make Dressing

• Mix all ingredients in a jar with lid. Shake until incorporated.

Instructions to Serve Immediately

• Place about 1 ½ cups spring mix in the bottom of each plate.
• Shake dressing and add 1 tablespoon to salad. Toss.
• Divide the cucumbers, tomatoes, and radishes evenly between the salads.
• Add ¼ cup of quinoa to each salad.
• Top with ¼ cup hummus.
• Place salmon 2-3 ounces salmon on top of each salad.
• Serve immediately.

Meal Prep Instructions

• Place about 1 ½ cups spring mix in a to go container.
• Shake dressing and add 1 tablespoon to each salad. Toss.
I find this salad doesn't get too soggy with the dressing added ahead of time. You can add it right before eating if you prefer.
• Divide tomatoes, radishes, and cucumbers evenly on top of the spring mix.
• Either purchase hummus singles or put ¼ cup hummus on top of the salad
• In microwaveable to go containers, add salmon and ¼ cup quinoa.
• Immediately before eating microwave the quinoa and salmon for approximately 30 seconds. Add it to the spring mix, dressing, veggie, hummus mix.

Enjoy!
