Description

This quinoa salad is packed with healthy veggies—beets, peas, carrots, cauliflower, potatoes … Perfect for those days when you need a little healthy detox in your life!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Quinoa, Uncooked
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil, Divided
  • ½ whole Yellow Onion, Diced
  • 3 cloves Garlic, Chopped
  • 5 whole Small Potatoes, Diced (about 2 Cups)
  • 2 whole Medium Carrots, Chopped
  • 1 whole Large Beet, Peeled And Diced
  • 1 cup Cauliflower, Chopped
  • ½ cups Peas
  • 4 ounces, weight Goat Cheese
  • ⅓ cups Slivered Almonds
  • 1 cup Breadcrumbs
  • Salt To Taste
  • Pepper To Taste
  • Micro Green, For Garnish

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 F.

Cook one cup of quinoa according to the package directions.

While the quinoa cooks, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat in a frying pan large enough to accommodate all of the veggies. Saute the yellow onion and 3 cloves of garlic.

When the onions become translucent, add the potatoes, carrots and a little salt and pepper. Cook until they begin to soften, about 8-10 minutes, stirring often.

Add the beets and cauliflower and continue to stir for another 5 minutes or so and then stir in the peas.

In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa with the goat cheese. Mix in the veggies and almonds then pour the mixture into a baking pan (about 3 quart sized).

Toss breadcrumbs with 1 tablespoon olive oil then spread over quinoa mixture. Place in oven, and bake for 20-25 minutes.

Serve with fresh micro greens.

Enjoy!
