The best part of a fridge stocked with roasted veggies, quinoa and proteins is being able to create a meal in minutes!
Over the weekend, I made a delicious savory Autumn Quinoa Salad with caramelized onions, dried cranberries, sliced almonds and sage (see linked post for details), and roasted white and yellow cauliflower, Maple Delicate Squash, and some chickpeas.
So today I put it all in a big bowl with some lettuce and the most perfect avocado (can we just say it is so exciting when you open a PERFECT avocado!) and had a super easy, delicious and satisfying dinner.
A simple bowl of veggie goodness. Autumn Quinoa Salad, Roasted Cauliflower, Roasted Delicata Squash, Roasted Chickpeas and avocado, all on a bed of lettuce. Best part is this bowl was put together using all food cooked the day before.
