Chicken quinoa salad: Frequently asked questions
Can I make a vegetarian dish with this salad?
It can! If it’s vegetarian, use white beans or chickpeas!
Can I prepare the salad in advance?
Yes, we do! This can be made ahead of time and will be kept in the refrigerator for 1-3 days. The part that only lasts for a short time is the spinach, so I suggest waiting until just before serving to add the spinach, or making a big pile and storing it in the fridge, then add the spinach on its own.
I have a little extra time to make my sauce. What do you recommend?
The sauce from this pasta salad recipe or this LA Chop would be good!
Should I eat it hot or cold?
Honestly, it’s great either way!
