Healthy green meal.

Fluffy and soft quinoa, juicy and tender slices of chicken, broccoli cooked to perfection, and a hint of lemon juice will transform this salad into a healthy green meal with 25 to 40 grams of protein and 600 calories.

Every ingredient in this salad works together to create a dish full of flavor and with LOTS of protein.
