Cook quinoa or couscous according to package instructions. If using quinoa, rinse it under cold water to remove its bitter coating before cooking.

Grill chicken, salmon, or shrimp until cooked through. Alternatively, you can use canned chickpeas or tuna for quicker prep.

Dice vegetables like cucumbers, bell peppers, and halve cherry tomatoes for a colorful addition.

Start with a generous layer of quinoa or couscous, add your chosen protein, and then top with a bounty of fresh vegetables.

Add a dressing of your choice, such as olive oil, lemon juice, or a yogurt-based dressing for creaminess.

Enjoy immediately or store for meal prep.
