Description

The weather here just gets better and better—warm, clear and sunny—so we had a little picnic last weekend. I made a zesty spring salad packed with high protein ingredients like red quinoa and chicken.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE DRESSING:
  • 2 Tablespoons Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 2 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • ¾ teaspoons Ground Cumin
  • ½ teaspoons Kosher Salt
  • ¼ teaspoons Sweet Paprika
  • FOR THE SALAD:
  • 3 cups Cooked Peas
  • 3 cups Pea Shoots
  • 1 bunch Radishes, Trimmed And Sliced
  • ½ cups Crumbled Goat Cheese
  • 3 Tablespoons Chopped Fresh Dill
  • 3 cups Shredded Rotisserie Chicken
  • 3 cups Cooked Red Quinoa

Preparation

In a small container, whisk together the ingredients for the dressing; set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, gently toss together peas, pea shoots, sliced radishes, crumbled goat cheese, and dill. Drizzle dressing over the top of the salad. Transfer salad to a container.

Transfer chicken to one container and the cooked red quinoa to another.

To serve, spoon desired amounts of salad, chicken, and quinoa.
