Quinoa Brussels Feta Salad

 

     I love my meatless meals, the admiration is exponentially greater if I can make several servings at one time.  This is one that involves many flavors and textures, the more the better I say!  Each of these 5 servings are only 358 calories, 102g carbs, 22.3g fiber, 79.7g net carbs, 21.2g protein and 9.2g fat.  The best thing about this recipe is that it can last all week.😊
