This plant-based dish gets its rich green color from mint, pistachios, cucumbers, avocados, and arugula. It’s low in sodium, high in fiber, gluten-free, and has over 12 grams of protein per serving.
By precooking the quinoa — which is packed with nutrients like protein, zinc, fiber, folate, and antioxidants — you can put this together in a flash.
Mint is soothing for general digestion, but if you have acid reflux or GERD, you may wish to leave out the mint, as it can worsen heartburn.
