Ingredients

1 cup quinoa, rinsed

2 cups vegetable broth (or water)

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 medium cucumber, diced

1 bell pepper (any color), diced

1 cup shredded carrots

1 avocado, sliced

1 cup chickpeas, drained and rinsed

1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish

Optional toppings: feta cheese, nuts (like walnuts or almonds), sesame seeds

Instructions

Cook Quinoa: In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and vegetable broth (or water). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat, fluff with a fork, and let cool.

Prepare Vegetables: While the quinoa is cooking, prepare the vegetables. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, shredded carrots, avocado, chickpeas, and red onion.

Make Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Combine Everything: Once the quinoa has cooled slightly, add it to the bowl of mixed vegetables. Drizzle the dressing over the mixture and toss gently to combine, ensuring everything is well coated.

Serve: Divide the veggie bowl into serving dishes, and top with fresh parsley or cilantro. If desired, sprinkle feta cheese, nuts, or sesame seeds for added flavor and crunch.

Enjoy: Serve immediately, or chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together before serving.
