Make life easier on yourself and pre-cook everything ahead of time. That way you can assemble this salad quickly throughout the week.
Ingredients
1 cup uncooked quinoa
4 chicken breasts, cooked and sliced
4 large beets, roasted and sliced (to roast: wrap in foil and roast at 425°F for 30 to 40 mins or until knife goes through)
2 cups matchstick carrots (I buy the pre-done variety)
2 cups spinach leaves
Dressing
½ cup nutritional yeast flakes
⅓ cup liquid aminos or soy sauce
⅓ cup apple cider vinegar
⅓ cup water
2 tbsp tahini
2 tsp crushes minced garlic
1 cup olive oil

Dressing
Add all of the ingredients into a blender and blend until mixed.
Add into a mason jar or plastic container, store in the fridge for up to a week.
To Assemble
At the bottom of your bowl add ⅓ cup of quinoa, top with a handful or two of spinach. Add a handful of sliced or shredded chicken to the center. Surround the chicken with beets and carrots.
Pour 2-3 tbsps of the dressing over top and enjoy.
