Notes

  • Rinse quinoa thoroughly to remove its natural bitterness.
  • Vegetable broth adds much more flavor than water.
  • Store dressing separately if meal prepping.
  • The bowl stays fresh in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Add grilled chicken, salmon, or tofu for extra protein.
  • Avocado should be added just before serving for the best texture and freshness.
