90 Seconds...2 Meals!

Day 1

• Seed of Life Quinoa/Brown Rice Microwave Packet
• Feta cheese
• Trader Joes Fresh Salsa

Warm the quinoa in the microwave as stated in directions on the packet. Pour half of it a bowl and the other half in a tupperware container. Next sprinkle in feta cheese and add salsa. Stir all together and enjoy!

Day 2

• refrigerated quinoa/brown rice
• feta cheese
• salsa
• peanuts

Add the mix-ins into the quinoa like the previously stated directions describe. I added peanuts in as well for extra-crunch. You now have a deliciously healthy salad. You can microwave it if you want it warm, but I think it is just as delicious cold.

Olive Bar Salad

You can really add whatever you want to a salad, but ingredients like fresh mozzarella and avocados can get expensive. Luckily when I went to the grocery store today, Haas avocados were .99 each! I then went to the olive bar and scooped some fresh mozzarella, large garbanzo beans, and an olive medley into the plastic container. This whole concoction only cost me $3.29. I already had spinach and tomatoes at my house, but these ingredients are also fairly inexpensive.

Conclusion: I made a delicious salad filled with vitamin c, fiber, iron, and protein all for under $5! I also used the juice from the container used from the olive bar as dressing, which saved calories and money.

Mozzarella is a delicious addition to any salad, but now it does not just have to be a treat. Utilize the olive bar for all your cheese, pepper, bean, or olive needs!
