  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 large red bell pepper, sliced into thick strips
  • 1 large yellow bell pepper, sliced into thick strips
  • 1 medium zucchini, cut lengthwise into planks
  • 1 medium yellow squash, cut into planks
  • 1 large red onion, cut into rings
  • 8 ounces baby bella mushrooms
  • 1 bunch of asparagus, tough ends snapped off
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil for marinade
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil for dressing
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Rinse quinoa under cold water. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine quinoa with vegetable broth and sea salt. Bring to a boil then reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes until liquid is absorbed. Let sit covered for 5 minutes before fluffing.
  2. Prepare the marinade by whisking together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, oregano, basil, sea salt, and black pepper in a mixing bowl.
  3. Toss the prepared vegetables in the marinade until evenly coated. Allow to marinate while preheating the grill.
  4. Preheat grill over medium-high heat. Grill marinated vegetables for about 4-5 minutes on each side until tender and charred.
  5. Assemble your bowl by placing cooked quinoa as the base and topping generously with grilled veggies. Drizzle with dressing made from olive oil, lemon juice, maple syrup (or honey), parsley, minced garlic along with salt & pepper as desired.
