Instructions
Quinoa- Cook the quinoa according to the package. I prefer to use a rice cooker on the white rice setting.
Avocado Green Goddess Dressing- Combine all the dressing ingredients in a blender and blend for 10 seconds or until smooth.
Veggies- Bring a medium-sized pot of salted water to a boil. Quickly blanch the broccoli and green beans until slightly tender. Drain and shock in an ice bath or under cold running water.
Assembly- Divide the spinach into 4 large bowls. Arrange the cooked quinoa and veggies in each bowl. Top with dollops of the avocado green goddess dressing. Enjoy!
Notes
I always double this and have it for lunches. Keep the dressing separate until ready to eat.
Substitute any veggies you wish for this. I change it up all the time.
