Ingredients

Salad Ingredients

  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 8 cooked beets, chopped or shredded
  • 2 cups cooked quinoa
  • 1 cup shredded Brussels sprouts
  • ½ cup golden raisins
  • ½ cup crumbled goat cheese
  • ¼ cup roasted salted cashews
  • 8 cups baby spinach

Garlic Tahini Dressing

  • All ingredients for the garlic tahini dressing (specific quantities not provided in source; typically include tahini, garlic, lemon juice, water, salt, and pepper)

Instructions

  1. Cook Quinoa: Prepare quinoa according to package instructions if not already cooked, ensuring it is fluffy and tender.
  2. Prep Vegetables: Chop or shred the beets, carrots, and Brussels sprouts to desired consistency to facilitate layering and ease of eating.
  3. Make Dressing: Blend all garlic tahini dressing ingredients until smooth and creamy, adjusting thickness with water if necessary.
  4. Assemble Mason Jars: Line up four 32-ounce wide-mouth mason jars. Add 3 tablespoons of the dressing to the bottom of each jar.
  5. Layer Ingredients: In each jar, layer in order: shredded carrots, chopped beets, cooked quinoa, golden raisins, crumbled goat cheese, roasted salted cashews, shredded Brussels sprouts, and baby spinach on top.
  6. Store: Place lids on each jar and refrigerate until ready to serve, allowing flavors to meld.
  7. Serve: When ready to eat, shake the jar to distribute the dressing, then pour the contents into a bowl or enjoy directly from the jar.

Notes

  • This salad can also be assembled in meal prep containers instead of mason jars for convenience.
  • Ensure quinoa is fully cooled before layering to prevent wilting the greens.
  • Adjust the amount of dressing to taste or dietary preference.
  • For vegan variation, substitute goat cheese with a plant-based cheese alternative.
  • Beets can be roasted or boiled prior to chopping depending on preference.
