Happy Tuesday and Last Week of the Love Your Body Challenge!
Today's recipe is from one of my favorite recipe blog sites: Skinnytaste.com. It is a protein-packed meatless salad made with quinoa, lentils, grape tomatoes, arugula, avocado and hard boiled eggs. This recipe is made in a mason jar (fun!) and is easily modified to include your favorite salad fixings or whatever veggies are in season. It is perfect to pack for work, the beach, picnics, or anywhere you need a portable lunch on-the-go!
I hope you enjoy it, I can't wait to experiment with other mason jar combinations!
Have a great week, you're almost there!!
