Nutrition Facts & Tips

Variations

You can create a totally vegetarian but complete meal with this salad. Just add 1/2 cup of cooked quinoa or shredded tofu. Actually you can combine the same salad with different proteins and you come up with different meals. This is one way of scaling up your cooking effort. You cook once and have a few different tasting meals.
