  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 3 cups quinoa, cooked
  • 1 bundle of scallions, chopped
  • 2 cups edamame, cooked
  • 1 cup kale, finely chopped
  • 1 cup dried cranberries

Dressing

  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons tahini
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons water

  4. In a large bowl, add the eggs, quinoa, scallions, edamame, kale, cranberries, and sesame seeds. Mix until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
