Up To 3 Flavors By Plate Recipe

Rinse Quinoa

Rinse 1 cup of quinoa under cold water for about 2 minutes to remove any bitterness.

Cook Quinoa

In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and 2 cups of vegetable broth. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

Prepare Grilled Chicken

If using grilled chicken, slice it into strips or cubes after cooking. You can season it with a pinch of salt and pepper if desired.

Roast Vegetables

Toss 2 cups of chopped bell peppers, zucchini, and carrots with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes until tender.

Slice Avocado

Cut the medium avocado in half, remove the pit, and slice each half into wedges.

Prepare Feta Cheese

Crumble the feta cheese into small pieces, if not already crumbled.

Prepare Chickpeas

If using canned chickpeas, rinse and drain 1 cup. If using dried, soak and cook them beforehand.

Wash Spinach

Thoroughly wash the spinach leaves and remove any tough stems.

Combine Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa with your choice of up to 3 flavors selected from grilled chicken, roasted vegetables, hummus, avocado, feta cheese, pesto sauce, chickpeas, or spinach.

Dress the Plate
