Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa (about 170g)
  • 1 cup baby spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1 cup shredded red cabbage
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 medium cucumber, diced
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced
  • 1 cup cooked chickpeas (canned, rinsed and drained)
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional garnishes: chopped fresh parsley or cilantro, toasted sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds

Instructions

  1. Rinse 1 cup (170g) of quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine rinsed quinoa with 2 cups (480ml) water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until water is absorbed and quinoa is fluffy. Remove from heat and let rest covered for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
  2. Wash and chop all fresh produce: halve cherry tomatoes, dice cucumber, slice avocado just before serving, shred red cabbage and carrots, roughly chop baby spinach.
  3. Rinse and drain canned chickpeas thoroughly.
  4. In a small bowl or jar, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Whisk or shake until creamy and smooth.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, combine cooked quinoa, baby spinach, shredded cabbage, chickpeas, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and shredded carrots. Toss gently to mix evenly.
  6. Divide mixture between serving bowls. Arrange sliced avocado on top and drizzle generously with honey mustard dressing. Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro and toasted seeds if desired.

Notes

Rinse quinoa well before cooking to remove bitterness. Let quinoa rest covered after cooking to fluff properly. Slice avocado just before serving to prevent browning or toss slices in lemon juice if prepping ahead. Whisk or shake honey mustard dressing until smooth. Avoid over-tossing after adding dressing to keep textures distinct. For vegan drizzle, replace honey with maple syrup or agave nectar. Store components separately for meal prep and assemble just before serving.
