Many salads are eaten at Sauce HQ, but the Southwestern-inspired Grain-Go salad from Revel Kitchen is one of our favorites.
A generous portion of chicken sits atop a fibrous array of veggies, including organic greens, purple cabbage, roasted corn, pickled red onion, black beans and jalapeno. Add a sprinkling of cotija cheese and a big scoop of quinoa for an extra dose of fiber, along with a citrusy-sweet cilantro-agave-lime vinaigrette, and you’ve got a flavorful salad so multidimensional that it doesn’t even need a crunchy element as most salads do (although adding a handful of crispy jalapenos really kicks things up a notch).
It’s such a filling lunch that we can skip our usual afternoon snack.
