Method

Base

  1. 1

    Cook Quinoa

    Rinse 1 cup of quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

Vegetables

    Prepare Vegetables

    While the quinoa is cooking, wash and chop the cherry tomatoes in half, dice the cucumber and bell pepper, and roughly chop the spinach. Set all vegetables aside in a large bowl.

Protein

    Add Protein

    Drain and rinse the can of chickpeas. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash the avocado slightly with a fork and then add it to the bowl of vegetables along with the chickpeas.

Dressing

  1. 4

    Make Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper until well combined. Pour this dressing over the vegetable and protein mixture.

Assemble

    Combine and Serve

    Once the quinoa is cooked, add it to the large bowl with the vegetables, chickpeas, and dressing. Toss everything together until well mixed. Top the bowl with crumbled feta cheese and chopped fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your nutritious bowl!
