Sriracha Honey-Lime Quinoa Salad

Meal Prep Salad

Hey gang!

I’ve been getting a lot of requests to add a quinoa salad to the roster of marinated salads, so this week I dropped an absolute banger.

It’s LOADED with shredded carrots, edamame, purple cabbage, and a bunch of other veggies then tossed in a zippy Sriracha Honey-Lime dressing. It’s real tasty and injects a solid punch of protein into your day.

Macros, along with the fiber, low-calorie and high-protein versions are at the bottom of this post.

I hope you enjoy!

Sriracha Honey-Lime Quinoa Salad
Servings: 4 LARGE dinner portions, 6 SMALL side portions
Lasts 5-7 days depending on freshness of vegetables

Ingredients
1 cup Raw Quinoa, then cooked (175g raw quinoa) [I like to mix both red and white quinoa for the colors]
1 12oz bag Frozen Cooked Edamame, thawed (350g)
1/4 small head of Red Cabbage (200g)
2 medium Carrots
1 Red Bell Pepper
1 bunch Scallions, greens only (optional)
Sriracha Honey-Lime Dressing, to taste
Sesame seeds and additional salt to taste (optional)

Instructions:
Cook your Quinoa according to the package instructions. Let cool completely.

Chop your Red Cabbage and Bell Peppers into a medium dice, then shred your Carrots and thinly slice your Scallions if using.

Combine with Edamame, cooked Quinoa and toss with Sriracha Honey-Lime Dressing (slowly add dressing to taste, you may not need the entire yield).

Taste for seasoning, add additional Salt or Lime Juice as needed, and optionally top with a sprinkle of sesame seeds.

Sriracha Honey-Lime Dressing
Juice & Zest from 1 Lime
1 tbsp Neutral Oil (15ml)
2 tbsp Honey or Agave (30ml)
3 tbsp Sriracha (45ml)*
1 tbsp Cold-Pressed Peanut Oil (or swap sesame oil) (15ml)**See note
1/2 tsp Salt
Water as needed to thin as needed

Thoroughly mix all ingredients together until combined.

*Please reduce by half if you’re sensitive to spicy food.

**Cold-pressed peanut oil is similar to sesame oil but made from peanuts. It’s got a great nutty flavor that’s a bit more subtle than sesame oil. I highly recommend checking it out but feel free to just swap in sesame oil.
