•garlic
•tomatoes
•boiled eggs
•Parnassian cheese
•olive oil
•mustard
•salt & pepper

❤️1. Start by boiling your 1 cup of quinoa with 2 cups of water. Once brought to a boil set to simmer and cover for 15 mins! I use pickled quail eggs, but if you just want to use regular boiled eggs go ahead and start 2 in boiling water for 10-15 mins !
🧡2. While it’s cooking chop your veggies ! I do mine in micro bits ! After all it’s chopped 🔪 cut your lemon in half and massage your greens in a separate bowl! All veggies will be chopped enough to fill about half a cup (it’s preference based ! )
💚3. Once the quinoa is cooked and all water is absorbed go ahead and remove from your pot and place inside the fridge to cool. It should take 25-30 minutes ! (Don’t worry if you can’t wait it’s okay for it to be a little warm!).
🩵4. Let’s make the dressing ! 2 tbsp of your preferred oil, 2 tbsp of balsamic vinegar, 1 tbsp of mustard ( this is very important because without it your oils won’t mix!) add more if needed, you don’t want it to be too mustardy !!
Add salt and pepper to your liking and about 1 tbsp of lemon juice and add your 2 cloves of garlic
Now wisk wisk wisk!!
💜5. Mix all of your ingredients in a large bowl, top with parm cheese and serve !
This will stay good in your fridge for about 48 hours !
🩷Enjoy !🩷

Quinoa bowls are an excellent way to incorporate healthy grains into your diet. Known for its rich protein content and splendid fiber, quinoa serves as a perfect base for a variety of delicious toppings. The versatility of quinoa allows you to include a wide range of vegetables like carrots, celery, and arugula, which enhance the nutritional value and flavor of your meal. Adding healthy fats like olives or olive oil not only helps in nutrient absorption but also contributes to heart health. For those looking to increase their protein intake, toppings such as boiled eggs and cheese can be beneficial. Pairing this dish with a tangy mustard vinaigrette elevates the taste while keeping it fresh and zesty. Don’t hesitate to modify the ingredients according to your preferences or what you have on hand. You can even experiment with herbs, spices, or other salad components to create unique flavor profiles. A healthy quinoa bowl can serve as a quick meal prep option, as leftovers can be enjoyed for days! With its endless possibilities, this dish is a true favorite among healthy food enthusiasts.
