Easy Quinoa Apple Salad, aka the perfect healthy airplane snack for your next flight! I make this recipe a lot (because those airport snack boxes are a gamble at best). It’s fresh, filling, and packed with ingredients I feel good about: quinoa, crunchy veggies, sweet apple, toasted almonds, and a bright orange vinaigrette.
I make it ahead of time, freeze it, and then take it out right before I leave for the airport. By the time I’m in my seat, it’s thawed and ready to eat! Don’t forget to FOLLOW @bucketlistjourney for more travel-inspired recipes.
