Mediterranean Quinoa Salad in a Jar is the perfect healthy meal prep recipe for quick lunches all week!
By the time this goes live I’ll be well on my way to JAMAICA! I’m headed to the sunny vacation to attend a wedding, and I’m more than a little ready to get out of these freezing Chicago tempratures.
If you caught my goals post last week, you know that I’ve really been hitting the health hard this month in preparation for the trip. I’m so happy with my results (click here to read what changes I’ve made).
I love this salad so much that I ate it every single day for a week for lunches and dinners! I don’t know where I originally found the recipe, but this is one I’ve been making since college. I whip together a big batch on Sunday and store it in individual jars for grab-and-go meals. It’s so easy to make and makes my life SO much more convenient.
Mediterranean Quinoa Salad in a Jar
I normally just eyeball the ingredients, and throw in whatever I happen to have in the refrigerator for vegetables. I LOVE the combination of peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion and feta … whether it’s in an omelet or in a wrap. Mediterranean food is one of my favorites.
When mixed with quinoa, these Mediterranean flavors are so delicious and filling – it’s one of the few meatless lunches that actually keeps me full until dinner. (Or, until my afternoon snack let’s be real).
Here are the jars I use:
