Meal Prep of Vegan Apple Quinoa Salad with Maple Balsamic Vinaigrette this Recipe!

I love a good salad, especially one that is already made for me. That's why meal prepping a big salad at the beginning of the week has been a game changer. For this Vegan Apple Quinoa Salad , I used up a bunch of leftover ingredients and the result was delicious.

Full disclosure I am not a vegan, but we are on a tight budget right now and eating vegetarian or vegan meals a few times a week is easy on the wallet! You can serve this salad as an accompaniment to your next dinner on a simple platter.
