Description
A vibrant and nutritious Buddha bowl featuring quinoa, roasted broccoli, and a creamy Green Goddess dressing.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup quinoa (dried)
- 1 ½ cups water or chicken broth
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1 small head of broccoli (cut into florets)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp dried parsley
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 cloves of garlic (minced)
- ¼ tsp salt
- 2 cups arugula, mixed greens, or spinach
- 1 cup edamame
- 1 avocado
- Cherry tomatoes
- ½ cup Green Goddess dressing
Instructions
- Rinse the quinoa in a fine-mesh strainer. Add it to a medium saucepan along with 1 ½ cups of water or broth. Include 1 teaspoon of olive oil and, if using water, the ¼ teaspoon of salt.
- Cook the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread broccoli florets on a baking sheet, drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and sprinkle with garlic powder, parsley, parmesan cheese, and salt. Toss and roast for about 15-20 minutes.
- Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds. Stir in panko breadcrumbs and ¼ teaspoon salt, cooking for 3-5 minutes until golden brown.
- Combine Greek yogurt, mayo, parsley, garlic, capers, lemon juice, olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a blender. Blend until smooth, adjusting consistency with water if needed.
- Divide arugula or greens among serving bowls. Top with quinoa, roasted broccoli, edamame, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced avocado. Drizzle with Green Goddess dressing and finish with crunchy garlic breadcrumbs.
- Enjoy your bowl immediately or pack it for meal prep, keeping the dressing separate until ready to eat.
