I love this broccoli quinoa salad because it’s the kind of recipe that tastes even better after a few hours in the fridge. It’s a great meal prep option for a quick lunch recipe and you don’t have to worry about anything getting soggy.
For the salad
1 1/2 cups cooked quinoa (about 1/2 cup uncooked quinoa)
3 cups chopped broccoli (~1 head of broccoli)
1 (15oz) can white beans, drained and rinsed
1/3 cup shredded carrots
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
Dressing:
1 small shallot, minced
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons tahini
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the quinoa, broccoli, white beans, carrot, and bell pepper.
In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the shallot, mustard, vinegar, olive oil, tahini, salt, and cumin.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss to coat.
