How to make the to-go quinoa salad

First, put a layer of quinoa in the bottom of your container, then put a layer of sliced cucumber, then a layer of onion and the tomatoes.

At this point, you can dress the vegetables with lemon juice and olive oil or use a simple vinaigrette. Top with the hummus and toasted bread or pita. It is important that the bread is up to the top so that it does not become watery.

Tips & tricks

  • Do not mix the salad, mix until before eating it.
  • The idea of putting the quinoa on the bottom is so that it absorbs the liquid and flavor of the rest of the ingredients.
  • Another idea is to put all the chopped vegetables in cubes and put them in the same order but in a bag. When it’s time to eat, shake the bag from side to side to mix the ingredients.
  • Prepare this salad to go as you like, with your favorite ingredients.
