vFor a filling and delicious lunch, you can’t go wrong with this High Protein Jar Salad. This salad is jam packed with healthy protein-filled ingredients like chickpeas, quinoa, lentils, seeds and alfalfa sprouts.
You can choose to cook the quinoa and lentils from scratch by bringing them to a boil in two separate saucepans. Quinoa cooks quicker than lentils so watch them. You want to make sure the cooked quinoa and lentils still have a bite. To assemble the salad, start by making a dressing. Pour the dressing into the bottom of a jar. Layer the ingredients into the jar in the following order: quinoa, sliced red pepper, tomatoes, lentils, grated carrot, spinach leaves, seeds, sprouts and chopped mint leaves.
To make my version of High Protein Jar Salad, you will need the following ingredients:
Mix 1 tablespoon of Greek yoghurt in a bowl with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, juice of half a lemon, ¼ teaspoon each of cumin, cinnamon, ginger, 1 crushed garlic clove and ¼ teaspoons of harissa. Add honey to taste and season with salt and pepper.
Place the dressing in the bottom of the jar.
Layer the salad ingredients into the jar in the following order: cooked quinoa,1 handful chickpeas, sliced red pepper, 4 chopped cherry tomatoes, cooked lentils, grated carrot, spinach leaves, seeds, sprouts and chopped mint leaves.
Place the lid on the jar and refrigerate overnight or until you are ready to eat.
Transfer to a bowl and enjoy!
