corn and quinoa salad topped with cotija cheese.

This corn and quinoa salad undeniably has a LOT going on. But that’s what makes it perfect for a healthy weeknight lunch or a meal you can prep throughout the week – you’ll never get bored of any bite. This is a salad with charred corn and toasted pepitas, quinoa and edamame to pack it full of protein, cilantro, mint and cucumber to freshen everything up, and a pineapple lime dressing that brings the sweetness, while cotija cheese brings the saltiness and umami. So yeah, like I said A LOT IS GOING ON. But all the flavors sing together, and I could eat a salad like this every day.

Not to mention if you *do* end up eating a salad like this every day, you’ll end up feeling amazing. So what’s to lose?
