After stuffing everything into a day that you possibly can – including workouts, work and making sure you call your mother (call your mother) – a healthy dinner can bring the entire day to the right kind of close. And  – there’s nothing wrong with sneaking in some QT over the dining room table.

Fiance and I try to split up cooking duties and this salad is a mainstay on our menu. It’s packed with protein, loaded with veggies and it’s a house flavor-ite.

Here’s what we have on hand to bring this meal together (makes 2 servings):

• 2 Chicken breasts (usually prepped Sundays and marinated in a little olive oil, garlic salt, dried onions, balsamic vinegar and a splash of orange juice)
• 1/2 cup quinoa
• 1 avocado, sliced and divided in 2
• 1 cup of tomatoes – I usually choose cherry tomatoes
• 1/2 cup black beans
• 2 cups arugula
• Dress with balsamic vinegar/ 1 TBS olive oil/salt and pepper

What’s your go-to quick, healthy meal?
