2 cups spinach leaves
1/2 cup (or more, to taste) Magic Green Sauce or Avocado Cilantro Dressing

Instructions

Cook the quinoa in advance if you can – it tastes best when it’s had a few hours to cool.
Toss all ingredients together to combine! If the Magic Green Sauce is too thick to toss together with the other ingredients, just add a little water or oil to the bowl and it should toss together smoothly.

Notes

I cook my quinoa in vegetable broth for more flavor, and I also cook twice the amount of quinoa I need for this recipe because I like to keep it in the fridge for the week!
