A quick and easy nourish bowl packed with fresh veggies, grains, and a creamy tahini-citrus dressing, perfect for a wholesome lunch or Superbowl party.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa (or brown rice for a nuttier texture)
  • 2 cups fresh baby spinach or mixed salad greens
  • 1 cup shredded purple cabbage
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup roasted chickpeas
  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced
  • 2–3 tablespoons water
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional toppings: toasted sesame seeds, chopped fresh parsley or cilantro, sliced radishes

Instructions

  1. Rinse 1 cup of quinoa under cold water to remove bitterness. Add it to a medium saucepan with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until water is absorbed. Remove from heat and fluff with a fork.
  2. In a small bowl or jar, combine 1/4 cup tahini, 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, 1 tablespoon fresh orange juice, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, and minced garlic. Whisk or shake well while slowly adding 2-3 tablespoons water until the dressing reaches a smooth, creamy consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. While quinoa cooks, wash and dry the baby spinach or mixed greens. Shred the purple cabbage and carrots finely. Slice the avocado and cherry tomatoes. Roast chickpeas by tossing canned chickpeas with olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper, then roasting in a 400°F oven for 20-25 minutes until crisp.
  4. Assemble the bowl by starting with a generous scoop of quinoa as the base. Layer the greens, shredded cabbage, carrots, cherry tomatoes, and roasted chickpeas on top. Add sliced avocado last to prevent browning.
  5. Pour the creamy tahini-citrus dressing over the bowl. Toss gently if desired or leave layered for presentation. Sprinkle optional toppings like toasted sesame seeds or fresh herbs.

Notes

Prep quinoa and roasted chickpeas a day ahead to save time. Store dressing in fridge up to 3 days. Add avocado just before serving to avoid browning. Roasting chickpeas adds crunch and protein punch. Adjust dressing thickness by adding water slowly.
