BOWL SO HARD

Sometime I just want to put things in a bowl and call it a meal. And sometimes that's good enough. Here's an easy, affordable and seriously delicious lunch that you can whip up in a flash. PS - I'm falling in love with video production! Get ready for many more videos on here in the future. Enjoy! 

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 pint of cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 large cucumber, large chunks
  • 1/4 cup of dill
  • 1/4 cup of mint
  • 1 avocado
  • 1 lemon
  • 1/4 cup of tahini
  • salt
  • pepper
  • 1/2 cup olive oil 
  • 1 cup of quinoa
  • 2 cups of water
  • 1/4 cup of feta

DIRECTIONS

Place quinoa and water on stove top, bring to a boil and simmer for 20 mins. Meanwhile, place avocado, lemon, dill, mint, tahini, salt and pepper in a food processor. Pulse on high and slowly add olive oil until the mixture is emulsified. 

When quinoa is ready, assemble with chunky tomatoes and cucumbers, avocado cream, feta and extra herbs on top.
