Mediterranean quinoa bowl

This is amazingly easy to make, filling and yummy!

 

So here is what you will need.

For 3 normal people, or 2 people like my boyfriend and I 😜

For the sauce: 

3 red peppers

1/4 cup olive oil

Juice of half a lemon 

1 tbsp sunflower seeds (or wtv seed or nut you'd like) 

Salt to taste

For bowl:

*the quantities are just to help, the proportions are what ever you would prefer!*

2 cups Cooked Quinoa (I cooked mine in organic chicken broth) 

1 Large Cucumber 

1/2 cup Chopped Parsley

1/4 cup Finely Diced Red Onion

1/2 cup Kalmata Olives

1/2 cup Fetta

1 cup Chickpeas 

1 half Avocado 

Lemon juice

Olive oil

Vinegar 

Dry parsley

Salt & pepper 

To make the sauce:

1. Set the oven on High broil and put in the peppers, turn them every 4 minutes until all the sides are pretty black (don't worry) 

2. Let them cool down completely, cut out the core, pull the skin off (it should peel off very easily) and throw that away

3. Blend together the peppers, olive oil, lemon juice, seeds and salt.

To put together the bowl: 

Assemble as you wish but here are a few things I did

1. Cut up the fetta in small cubes, sprinkled dry parsley and small drizzle of olive oil on them

2. Squirt lemon juice on the chickpeas

3. Mixed fresh parsley, onions and cucumbers with a bit of olive oil, vinegar and salt.

Then combine everything in the bowl and add the sauce from heaven :)
