A vibrant medley of flavors and textures with quinoa, colorful veggies, and a luscious Green Goddess dressing.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup quinoa (dried)
- 1 ½ cups water or chicken broth
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1 small head of broccoli (cut into florets)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp dried parsley
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 cloves of garlic (minced)
- ¼ tsp salt
- 2 cups arugula, mixed greens, or spinach
- 1 cup edamame
- 1 avocado
- Cherry tomatoes
- ½ cup Green Goddess dressing
Instructions
- Rinse the quinoa in a fine-mesh strainer. In a medium saucepan, combine quinoa with 1 ½ cups of water or broth, 1 tsp olive oil, and ¼ tsp salt if using water.
- Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit covered for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread broccoli on a baking sheet, drizzle with 2 tbsp olive oil, and sprinkle with garlic powder, parsley, parmesan cheese, and ½ tsp salt. Toss to coat and roast for about 15-20 minutes until golden and crispy.
- In a skillet, heat 3 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic, and cook for 30 seconds. Then add panko breadcrumbs and ¼ tsp salt, cooking until golden brown. Transfer to a bowl to cool.
- For the dressing, blend Greek yogurt, mayo, parsley, garlic, capers, lemon juice, olive oil, and salt & pepper in a blender. Adjust consistency if needed.
- To assemble, divide greens among bowls. Top with quinoa, roasted broccoli, edamame, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced avocado. Drizzle with dressing and finish with crunchy breadcrumbs.
- Serve immediately or store in containers for meal prep, keeping the dressing separate.
Notes
Feel free to customize your greens and adjust the dressing’s consistency by adding more lemon juice or olive oil.
