Garden Quinoa Salad Lunch Box

Quinoa salad is the rare lunchbox food that is better on day two, which makes it worth making a batch of on Sunday. This one is the vegan garden version, packed cold.

With it: whole wheat quesadillas filled with cheddar, broccoli and quinoa, raspberries, and no-bake funfetti cake batter bites for dessert.

Dress the quinoa salad the night before rather than in the morning. Quinoa keeps drinking the dressing, and a salad dressed at seven a.m. tastes like plain grain by noon.
