I don’t know about you, but I loveee a good chopped salad!
You get so many delicious flavors in every bite, and the lettuce is nice and crispy! 🙌
This particular recipe is loaded with a variety of textures, colors, and flavors…
And if you want more protein, just add some grilled salmon or chicken. (SO GOOD!)

● 1 cup (185 g) cooked quinoa or brown rice
● 1 cup (170 g) cooked shelled edamame

Dressing:

Using a cutting board and sharp knife, chop the greens, cucumber tomatoes, pepper, and avocado into bite-sized pieces. Place in a large salad bowl. Set aside.
Make the dressing by combining all the ingredients in a small bowl and whisking together. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Add the quinoa, edamame, corn, cranberries, and goat cheese to the salad mixture and toss gently. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss again until everything is well coated.
