Grain salads like this one take well to meal prepping, as they can last several days in the fridge and taste great both chilled or reheated. It is also adaptable to what you have on hand. No white beans? Try chickpeas. No quinoa? Try wheat berries. Feel free to garnish with fresh herbs.
Salad:
1 cup quinoa
3 assorted medium citrus fruits (such as blood oranges, mandarin oranges, and cara cara oranges), peeled and chopped into bite-sized pieces
1 (15-ounce) can navy beans, unsalted, drained and rinsed
1/3 cup shelled pistachios
Dressing:
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon salt
