LUNCH
SNAP PEA AND RADISH SALAD WITH QUINOA AND ARUGULA
Makes 1 serving
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
freshly ground pepper
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 recipe snap pea salad (leftover from Wednesday's dinner)
1/2 cup Big Batch Cooked Quinoa (leftover from Monday's dinner)
2 cups arugula, rinsed and dried
In a medium mixing bowl, combine balsamic vinegar, kosher salt, and freshly ground pepper.
Gradually add 1/2 tablespoon olive oil while whisking the mixture vigorously. Continue to whisk the mixture for 30 seconds after all of the oil has been added. Add remaining ingredients to the bowl and toss everything together, so that the dressing is evenly coating the snap pea salad, quinoa, and greens. Transfer to a bowl to serve.
If you're packing lunch to go: Pack the vinaigrette in a small airtight container. Combine snap pea salad, quinoa, and arugula in a separate large airtight container, and toss everything together. Refrigerate until you're ready to eat, and pour the vinaigrette over the salad at lunch time.
