Instructions
- Prepare your base: Rinse 1 cup of quinoa under cold water. In a large pot, combine quinoa with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
- Cook the chickpeas: If using canned chickpeas, drain and rinse thoroughly. For dried chickpeas, soak overnight and boil until tender. Set aside 2 cups of cooked chickpeas.
- Sauté the vegetables: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
- Make the dressing: In a blender, combine 1 avocado, 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/2 cup almond milk, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Assemble your bowl: In a large bowl, combine cooked quinoa, chickpeas, sautéed spinach, and fresh chopped herbs. Pour the avocado dressing over and toss gently to coat everything evenly.
- Adjust seasoning: Taste and add additional salt, pepper, or lemon juice if desired.
- Serve and enjoy: Garnish with extra herbs or toasted nuts for crunch.
Tips & Variations
For an extra protein boost, add roasted tofu or tempeh cubes to your bowl.
Try swapping quinoa with brown rice or millet for different textures.
If you prefer a spicy kick, add red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the dressing.
