Boost Up Your Weekday Lunch With Quinoa ‘Power’ Salad

• 3 cups leafy greens Baby Spinach, Lettuce, Red Romaine, Green Chard etc.
• 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes slit in halves
• 1/2 cup quinoa
• 1 avocado Sliced
• 1/2 cup sprouts Black chickpeas
• 1 red onion thinly sliced
• 1 English cucumber diced
• balsamic Vinigrette, or any Kraft salad dressing as per taste
• pepper

1. Wash quinoa. Bring 1 Cup of water(or stock if you have it ready) to a boil. Add Quinoa and let it cook for 15 minutes or until all the water is absorbed.
2. In the meanwhile, Mix diced cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, black chickpeas sprouts and onion in a bowl. Add Balsamic Vinigrette or any of your favorite salad dressing. Mix everything nicely so that everything absorbs the dressings well.
3. Once quinoa is done, let it cool.
4. Once cooled, Take the serving platter. Arrange the mix of greens on that. Place quinoa spreading it evenly in the middle of the greens like a nice layer.
5. Spread the salad mixture from step 2 on quinoa.
6. Add the avocado slices on the top to give it a catchy green color.
7. Sprinkle salt and pepper if desired. I don't add it as my dressing is enough to take care of the flavors.
