I love a good salad at lunch in the summertime and this Superfood Salad is packed with flavor and makes you feel good eating it too! The mix of quinoa, edamame, golden raisins and slivered almonds in here is so good! Plus, the simple dressing that adds a touch of sweetness is perfect for this salad. What I love about this is that you can easily switch it up by adding any protein or choice or keep it vegetarian. It’s still full of a plant based protein from the chickpeas in here too.
