Ingredients

  • 200 gShelled edamame, cooked
  • 160 gCooked quinoa
  • 100 gCucumberdiced
  • 80 gRed bell pepperdiced
  • 50 gFetacrumbled
  • 20 gLemon juice
  • 10 gOlive oil
  • 6 gFresh parsley

Steps

  1. Cool the base

    Use cooked quinoa and edamame that have been promptly chilled. If cooking them now, follow their package instructions and allow extra time to cool safely.

  2. Chop and dress

    Dice the cucumber and pepper. Whisk the lemon juice and oil in a mixing bowl, then add the quinoa, edamame, vegetables and chopped parsley.

  3. Add feta

    Fold in the crumbled feta without mashing it. Divide evenly between two lunch containers and refrigerate until needed.

For a smaller portion

Start with half a serving. If beans or raw vegetables feel too bulky, choose a smaller portion rather than treating the whole bowl as a target to finish.

Notes

  • Refrigerate in a covered container at 40°F / 4°C or below. Use within 3 days.
  • Use feta made with vegetarian rennet if needed. For a dairy-free version, omit feta or use a suitable alternative; nutrition will differ.
