Farmer’s Basket Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Prepare Quinoa

   Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a saucepan, combine the quinoa with 2 cups of water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

2. 2

   Prepare Vegetables

   While the quinoa is cooking, chop the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, and shred the carrots. Slice the avocado just before serving to prevent browning.

3. 3

   Make Dressing

   In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and fresh herbs until well combined.

4. 4

   Assemble the Farmer's Basket

   In a large serving bowl, combine the mixed greens, cooked quinoa, and prepared vegetables. Drizzle with the dressing and toss gently to combine.

5. 5

   Serve

   Serve immediately, garnished with additional herbs if desired.
