If I ever read the words, "this recipe tastes better when made ahead of time," I eagerly hold up my imaginary auction sign as high as I can . . . "SOLD! To the lady that likes to plan ahead!"
We all know I am a sucker for recipes I can make ahead and this one is easy peasy, healthy and delicious! Perfect to grab and go for the office or a day outing with the fam.
My suggestion?
Make this recipe now. Tonight, grab a nice bottle of white wine, quinoa flax tabouleh, and some cheese and crackers. Take "your person" for a picnic to watch the supermoon ;)
