Instructions
- In a large, dry skillet, toast the quinoa over medium heat until golden brown and slightly fragrant.
- Transfer toasted quinoa to a medium-sized pot and mix with the vegetable broth.
- Bring to a rolling boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the liquid is completely absorbed.
- Let stand for 5 minutes and then fluff well with a fork.
- Split the quinoa evenly into the bottom of 4 deep bowls.
- Place ¾ cup of the spinach in each bowl.
- Evenly divide and place ¼ of the tomatoes, cucumber, feta cheese, chickpeas, olives, and red onions into each bowl.
- Top each bowl with ¼ cup of the hummus and drizzle with olive oil, optional.
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper, optional, and serve.
Notes
- Toasting the quinoa before cooking enhances its nutty flavor, so don't skip this step.
- If you're serving this dish to guests, set up a "bowl bar" with all the toppings so everyone can customize their bowl to their liking.
- Preparing the quinoa ahead of time and storing it in the fridge can save you time during busy weekdays. It makes assembling the bowl quick and convenient.
