This delicious high-protein salad comes together in just minutes. It’s a great choice when you are looking for a simple, inexpensive plant-based meal or side that takes less than 10 minutes to make. It’s also very kid and allergy-friendly and can easily be converted to a vegan meal if you sub out the honey for maple syrup. We usually eat this salad on it’s own but you could also top it with some tempeh or tofu.
