Quinoa, spiralized zucchini, chickpeas and every salad vegetable in the drawer, dressed with lemon and olive oil and a lot of fresh oregano and parsley. Vegan, and it holds up in the fridge for three or four days without going limp. Dress it while the quinoa is still warm. Warm grains take the lemon and oil right in; cold ones just wear it.
