Say goodbye to sad lunches. This satisfying quinoa salad bowl bursting with fresh herbs is a great way to spruce up last night’s leftover chicken. Just remember to add the lemon mayonnaise right before you eat, so the roasted nuts, dried fruit and Gouda don’t get soggy. Then wait for the compliments to roll in.
