Let’s Make Green Goddess Quinoa Salad Bowl
The recipe calls for some basic ingredients which are easily available and you can’t go wrong with any of them…
P.S. For exact measurements read the printable recipe card below.
Ingredients:
- Quinoa – prefer organic
- Vegetable stock or water – I like to cook the quinoa with vegetable stock, which I keep ready almost all the time in my refrigerator but feel free to use water instead.
- Medium ripe avocado – slightly ripened avocado is needed, avoid use hard avo’s.
- Greek yogurt or Sour cream – both gives the same result so it’s your personal preference.
- Fresh parsley – this is what brings the bright green color in this recipe, so you must find fresh and green parsley.
- Fresh basil (optional)
- Green Onions, green part only (optional)
- Lemon, juiced
- Honey – in case you do not like honey then skip it completely, or add maple syrup instead
- Medium red onion
- Cherry tomatoes – regular tomatoes will work fine in case cherry tomatoes are not available in your pantry, but cherry tomatoes looks so cute in this recipe.
- Feta cheese – for my vegan friends, I have seen vegan feta cheese alternatives and you may use those to make this recipe vegan. The salty, crumbly, creamy, feta cheese adds a unique character in the recipe so make sure to add this.
- Sea salt and black pepper to taste
