HANDS-ON: 10 MIN. // TOTAL: 10 MIN. // SERVES 2

spinach-quinoa bowls with chicken and berries

If you’re packing this for work, combine the dressing ingredients in a small container. When you’re ready to eat, shake the dressing well, add it to the salad, and toss. No time for a homemade dressing? Use 3 tablespoons of store-bought olive oil vinaigrette (11/2 tablespoons for each bowl).

3 cups fresh baby spinach or mixed greens

1 cup cooked quinoa

2/3 cup chopped cooked chicken breast

1/2 cup fresh blueberries or sliced fresh strawberries

2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese

1 tablespoon sliced almonds, toasted

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon white wine vinegar

1/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1/2 teaspoon honey

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1 Divide the spinach, quinoa, and chicken evenly between two 1-quart airtight containers. Top each salad evenly with the berries, cheese, and almonds. Cover and chill until ready to serve.

2 Just before serving, whisk together the oil, vinegar, mustard, honey, and salt in a small bowl. Divide the dressing evenly between the salads and toss to coat; serve immediately.
