Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa (185g)
  • 2 cups mixed greens (baby spinach, arugula, or kale, about 60g)
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 medium sweet potato, cubed
  • 1 cup broccoli florets (90g)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (extra virgin preferred)
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved (150g)
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced (quick-pickled in lemon juice)
  • A handful of cilantro or parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (60g)
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: 2 tbsp toasted pumpkin seeds
  • Optional toppings: 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. In a large bowl, toss cubed sweet potato, broccoli florets, and sliced red bell pepper with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Spread the veggies evenly on the baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring or flipping halfway through (around 12 minutes) until tender with slightly crispy edges.
  4. While veggies roast, rinse 1/2 cup dry quinoa thoroughly. Cook quinoa in 1 cup water on the stove by bringing to a boil, then simmer covered for 15 minutes or until water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside to cool slightly.
  5. Quick-pickle the red onion by placing thinly sliced onion in a small bowl with 2 tablespoons lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Let sit for at least 10 minutes.
  6. Make the dressing by whisking together Greek yogurt, lemon juice, honey or maple syrup, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  7. Assemble the bowl by layering mixed greens and cooked quinoa in serving bowls or meal prep containers.
  8. Top with roasted veggies, sliced avocado, cherry tomatoes, and pickled red onions.
  9. Sprinkle chopped cilantro or parsley, toasted pumpkin seeds, and feta cheese if using.
  10. Drizzle the dressing generously over the assembled bowl.
  11. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 3 days. Add avocado fresh before eating to keep it vibrant.

Notes

Toss veggies halfway through roasting for even caramelization. Prepare dressing a day ahead for better flavor. Keep avocado fresh by adding just before serving. Quick-pickle onions for at least 10 minutes to soften sharpness. Can be customized with proteins like grilled chicken, tofu, or beans. Use dairy-free yogurt and omit feta for vegan version.
