    invented this a few days ago and everyone who has tried it liked a lot.
    1 cup quinoa
    1 cup farro
    1 cup diced tofu(firm)
    1 can chick peas
    1 cup sliced grape tomatoes(give or take, I didn't measure.
    2 small bell peppers chopped
    1 cup shelled soybeans
    Dressing ingredients:
    juice of 1.5 lemons(2 if ur squeezing by hand)
    2 cloves garlic grated
    1 shallot grated
    1-2 tsp grated ginger root
    cilantro salt and pepper to taste
    3 tbsp white balsamic vinegar
    3 tbsp grapeseed oil

    mix ingredients for dressing together and let sit in fridge for a few hours.

    mix salad ingredients and let cool.

    smoke a bowl(optional)

    add dressing to salad as needed. I keep it separate from the salad and add to each serving. adding the dressing to the whole thing and leaving it like that may make the veggies soggy.
    I added powdered ginger and cumin to the quinoa and farro while cooking but this step is optional. next time i think I'll just add it to the farro and cook the quinoa in vegetable stock instead of water. excellent to bring camping/hiking, gives a ton of energy and will stay fresh unrefridgerated for hours. let me know what you think :)

    havn't worked out the exact protein content, will do when I get home. between.the quinoa, soybeans, farro tofu and chick peas I'm thinking at least 25g per cup but thats just a guess
