I’m always looking for ways to make a delicious vegetarian meal that’s both nutritious and filling. That’s why I created these Mediterranean Veggie Quinoa Bowls. The combination of quinoa, roasted vegetables, and a flavorful dressing is the perfect way to get your daily dose of veggies!
I love to cook with quinoa, since it’s a great source of protein and fiber. It’s also so versatile and can be used for sweet or savory dishes. This dish is a great way to use up any leftover vegetables you have in your fridge. I roasted red peppers, tomatoes, and onions for this recipe, but you can also use zucchini, eggplant, or any other vegetables you like.
I also added some feta cheese to give the dish a creamy texture. And of course, no Mediterranean meal is complete without olives! I added a generous helping of black olives to the dish to give it a salty, savory flavor. To finish it off, I drizzled a homemade dressing made of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and oregano.
These Mediterranean Veggie Quinoa Bowls are sure to please the whole family. They’re a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables and are sure to keep you full and satisfied!
Tips:
- Feel free to use any vegetables you have on hand in this dish.
- Substitute feta cheese with goat cheese for a different flavor.
