Quinoa is the protein underdog. I love my Tri-Color Quinoa because it has 6 grams of protein per 1/4 cup. It is also the most complete plant-based protein, supplying essential amino acids. Go quinoa!
This salad is not only DELICIOUS, but packs some protein in without adding meat or beans. I love throwing in sourdough croutons from some leftover sourdough bread and topping it with Olive Garden Italian Salad Dressing.
