Green Goddess Quinoa Bowl
Ingredients
  • 1 pouch Merchant Gourmet Red & White Quinoa, warmed or at room temperature
  • 100g tenderstem broccoli, blanched
  • 100g sugar snap peas
  • 100g edamame
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • ½ cucumber, thinly sliced into rounds
  • Large handful of fresh mint leaves
  • Large handful of fresh flat leaf parsley
  • 2 spring onions, finely sliced
  • Green Goddess Dressing
  • 1 avocado
  • Large handful of fresh basil
  • Large handful of fresh flat leaf parsley
  • 2 tbsp full fat Greek yogurt
  • 1 small garlic clove, grated
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp cold water, to loosen to a pourable consistency
  • ½ tsp salt
  • White pepper
  • To Finish
  • Sunflower seeds
  • Flaky sea salt
  • Extra virgin olive oil drizzle
  1. Add the avocado, basil, parsley, yogurt, garlic, lemon juice and olive oil to a blender. Blend on high for a full minute until completely smooth and vivid green. Add cold water a tablespoon at a time until you reach a thick but pourable consistency. Season
    with salt and white pepper. Refrigerate until needed. Make this first so the colour stays vivid.
  2.  Bring a pan of well-salted water to a boil. Drop the tenderstem in for 2 minutes. Drain and dry thoroughly.
  3.  Heat the pouch as per packet instructions.
  4.  Spread the warm quinoa as your base across a wide shallow bowl or platter. Arrange the tenderstem, sugar snaps, edamame, and cucumber over the quinoa loosely. Lay the avocado slices across. Scatter the mint, parsley and spring onion generously.
  5.  Pour the green goddess dressing slowly over the salad and scatter toasted sunflower seeds, with a pinch of flaky salt, a final drizzle of extra virgin olive oil
