  • 1 cup uncooked tri-color or white quinoa
  • 2 cups vegetable broth or water
  • 1 large red bell pepper
  • 1 large yellow bell pepper
  • 1 medium zucchini
  • 1 medium yellow squash
  • 1 large red onion
  • 8 ounces baby bella mushrooms
  • 1 bunch asparagus
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey

Instructions

  1. Rinse quinoa under cold water to remove bitterness. In a medium saucepan, combine rinsed quinoa with vegetable broth and sea salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 15 minutes until liquid is absorbed.
  2. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, oregano, basil, sea salt, and black pepper.
  3. Toss sliced vegetables (bell peppers, zucchini, yellow squash, onion rings), mushrooms, and asparagus in the marinade until well coated.
  4. Grill the marinated vegetables for about 5–7 minutes on each side until tender and slightly charred.
  5. Fluff cooked quinoa with a fork in serving bowls, top with grilled veggies, drizzle with dressing made from olive oil, lemon juice, maple syrup (or honey), Dijon mustard, minced garlic; garnish with parsley.
