Ingredients
For the Bowl
- ⅔ cup cooked quinoa
- ¾ cup Roots Farm Fresh Organic Sweet Potato Croutons
- 1 cup garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 tbsp chopped parsley
- Juice of ½ lemon, plus 1 tsp
- 2 to 3 sliced roasted red bell peppers, store-bought or homemade
- 1 avocado, diced
- 1 tbsp crumbled feta
- Hemp seeds, optional for serving
For the Garlicky Dill Vinaigrette
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp dill
- 1 small shallot
- ½ tsp honey
Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Quinoa
Cook 1 cup of quinoa according to the package instructions. Set aside and allow to cool.
Step 2: Roast the Bell Peppers
If making the roasted bell peppers from scratch, toss 5 to 6 mini bell peppers with 1 tsp olive oil. Roast at 350°F for 15 minutes on each side, or until softened and lightly blistered.
Slice the roasted bell peppers and set aside. You can also use store-bought roasted red bell peppers for a faster option.
Step 3: Prepare the Lemon Garbanzo Beans
In a small bowl, mix the garbanzo beans with the juice of ½ lemon. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
Step 4: Prepare the Avocado Feta Mixture
In the same bowl or a separate small bowl, gently mix the diced avocado with crumbled feta and 1 tsp lemon juice. Set aside.
Step 5: Season the Quinoa
In a clean bowl, mix ⅔ cup of the cooked quinoa with chopped parsley until evenly combined.
Step 6: Make the Garlicky Dill Vinaigrette
Add olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, garlic, Dijon, dill, shallot, and honey to a small jar. Shake until well combined.
Step 7: Assemble the Bowl
Arrange the parsley quinoa, roasted red bell peppers, avocado feta mixture, sweet potato croutons, and lemon garbanzo beans in a bowl.
Pour the garlicky dill vinaigrette over the top and sprinkle with hemp seeds for extra crunch, if desired. Serve fresh.
