Super Simple Quinoa Bowl with Roasted Veggies & Cashew Dressing

April 27, 2014 Leave a Comment

Roasted-Veggies-Quinoa-Bowl

I love me some quinoa bowls.

Not only are they delicious, but they are so simple to throw together. Simply add a bed of quinoa to a bowl and top with whatever veggies you have on hand! To make it extra yummy, a cashew dressing is an awesome idea.

Getting ready for my grocery shopping trip the other day, I looked in my fridge to see what I had to use up before refilling it with more goodies.

Broccoli, cauliflower and a container of cooked chickpeas looked me right in the eye and begged to be used in a quinoa bowl.

So I obeyed. I never say no to a quinoa bowl. Especially when it’s covered in a tangy cashew dressing.

Yum yum yum.

You don’t have to follow this recipe exactly – use whatever veggies you happen to have on hand! I’ve made quinoa bowls with green beans, edamame, zucchini, kale, collards, black beans, and so much more. Let your imagination run wild!

But please use the cashew dressing. It is out of this world amazing!
