Ingredients
8 servings
- 1 16 ounce jar of roasted red peppers, drained (or roast your own red peppers and win the food game!)
- 1 clove garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (more to taste)
- juice of one lemon
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/2 cup almonds
- cooked quinoa or couscous
- spinach, kale, or cucumber
- feta cheese
- kalamata olives
- pepperoncini
- thinly sliced red onion
- hummus
- fresh basil or parsley
- olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper
Steps
-
Pulse all the ingredients for the sauce in a food processor or blender until mostly smooth. The texture should be thick and textured (see picture).
-
Cook the quinoa according to package directions (I always do mine in a rice cooker while I get everything else ready).
-
Choose from any of the toppings in the ingredient list and make yourself a bowl!
-
Store leftovers in separate containers and assemble each bowl just before serving, especially the greens and the sauces, as those will get soggy when stored with all the other ingredients.
