Known as a “super seed,” quinoa contains about 50% more protein than other common grains: 8 g per 1 cup. It’s gluten free, high in calcium and iron, and a good source of vitamin B.

Our products are 100% gluten- and nut-free, and sugar and sodium-conscious—but they don't taste that way!

- Combine quinoa and water in a Multipurpose Pot over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until water is absorbed, about 15 min. Remove from heat and let stand 5 min.
- Turn into a bowl and stir in chickpeas and dressing. Spread out on a Sheet Pan lined with a Sheet Pan Liner to cool, then turn back into bowl. Stir in beets, greens, bell pepper, and cheese. Season to taste.
- Best served at room temperature. If making ahead, cover and refrigerate overnight.
This recipe freezes well. Freeze in individual portions with 4 oz cooked, cubed chicken or 1 cup black beans/lentils to have an emergency meal ready to reheat and eat.
Serve with 1 serving of lean protein.
