Quinoa Salad 

  • 1/2 cup of quinoa
  • 1 cup of water
  • 1/2 cup of cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup of cucumber, chopped
  • 1/4 cup of feta cheese, crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons of your favorite vinaigrette

Instructions:

  1. Rinse the quinoa under cold water until the water runs clear.
  2. In a saucepan, combine the quinoa and water. Bring it to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until quinoa is tender and water has been absorbed.
  3. Remove the quinoa from the heat and let it stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
  4. Allow the quinoa to cool to room temperature. You can place it in the fridge to speed up this process.
  5. Once the quinoa is cooled, combine it with the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and crumbled feta in a large bowl.
  6. Drizzle the salad with your favorite vinaigrette and mix until the salad is evenly coated. Serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve.

Chicken Caesar Wraps

Ingredients:

  • 1 grilled chicken breast (about 6-8 oz)
  • 2 large tortilla wraps
  • 1 cup of chopped romaine lettuce
  • 2 tablespoons of Caesar dressing
  • 2 tablespoons of shredded Parmesan cheese

Instructions:

  1. First, grill the chicken breast until it is fully cooked, which usually takes about 6-8 minutes per side depending on the thickness. Once cooked, let it cool slightly and then slice it into thin strips.
  2. Lay out the two tortilla wraps on a flat surface.
  3. Distribute the chopped romaine lettuce evenly onto the center of each wrap.
  4. Arrange the sliced grilled chicken over the lettuce.
  5. Drizzle each wrap with a tablespoon of Caesar dressing.
  6. Sprinkle a tablespoon of shredded Parmesan cheese on top of each wrap.
  7. Finally, fold the wrap tightly, tucking in the ends as you roll. Slice in half before serving, if desired. Enjoy your fresh and satisfying Chicken Caesar Wraps!
