Ingredients

2 bags Success Boil-in-Bag Tri-Color Quinoa ~3 cups cooked
1 cup purple cabbage shredded
1½ cups carrots diced or shredded
12 oz edamame 1 bag, frozen
½ cup slivered almonds
⅓ cup diced green onion
1 avocado
1 tsp olive oil
¼ - ½ cup Garlic Expression Classic Vinaigrette

Instructions

Start by preparing Success Boil-in-Bag Tri-Color Quinoa according to box instructions.
While the quinoa is cooking, use a vegetable chopper (or knife) to finely dice carrots. Prepare edamame according to package instructions and finely slice green onion, cabbage and avocado.
Optional: Heat a small skillet to medium heat with the olive oil. Add the almonds into the skillet and toss around until they’re golden (2-3 minutes). It really elevates the salad!
Once the Success Boil-in-Bag Tri-Color Quinoa is cooked and cooled, add it to a large bowl with the cabbage. Toss it with ¼ cup dressing and massage until cabbage is softened.
Add the diced carrots, cooked edamame, green onions, avocado, and toasted almonds to the bowl.
Toss the salad together and add more dressing if desired. Serve chilled and enjoy!

Notes

Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Add extra dressing if needed, the quinoa tends to soak it up as the salad sits.

As is, this salad is gluten free, dairy free, vegetarian, vegan, and soy free. To make it nut free, swap the almonds for sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds or just leave them out altogether.
