Print Recipe

A vibrant bowl brimming with nourishing grains, fresh vegetables, and a scrumptious dressing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Quinoa
  • 2 cups Water
  • Fresh Vegetables (Romaine, Carrots, Bell Peppers)
  • 1 Avocado
  • 1 cup Chickpeas (canned or cooked)
  • 3 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 2 tbsp Lemon Juice
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • 1 clove Garlic (minced, optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse 1 cup of quinoa under cold water. In a saucepan, combine it with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then simmer uncovered for about 15 minutes, until the grains are fluffy. Fluff with a fork and let it cool.
  2. While the quinoa cooks, chop your vegetables into bite-sized pieces.
  3. If using canned chickpeas, rinse and drain them well; if using dried, ensure they are cooked until tender.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste. Add minced garlic for extra flavor.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled quinoa, vegetables, and chickpeas. Drizzle the dressing over the top and toss gently.
  6. Slice the avocado and place it on top of your bowl. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro.
