Quinoa Base

Herb and Spice Blend

Lemon Dressing

Method

Prepare Quinoa

  1. 1

    Rinse Quinoa

    Place the quinoa in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse under cold water for about 2-3 minutes to remove the bitter coating.

  2. 2

    Cook Quinoa

    In a medium saucepan, combine rinsed quinoa, water, and 1 tsp of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the water is absorbed.

  3. 3

    Fluff Quinoa

    Remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Then, fluff the quinoa with a fork and set aside.

Sauté Vegetables

  1. 4

    Heat Olive Oil

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.

  2. 5

    Sauté Onions and Garlic

    Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent.

  3. 6

    Add Vegetables

    Stir in the diced bell pepper, zucchini, and grated carrot. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender.

  4. 7

    Season Vegetables

    Sprinkle the cooked vegetables with black pepper, cumin, paprika, and fresh parsley, and mix well to combine.

Make Dressing

  1. 8

    Combine Ingredients

    In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, honey, and salt until well combined.

Combine and Serve

  1. 9

    Mix Quinoa and Vegetables

    In a large bowl, combine the fluffed quinoa with the sautéed vegetable medley. Drizzle with the lemon dressing and toss gently to combine.

  2. 10

    Serve

    Serve warm or at room temperature, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
