Ingredients
  

For the quinoa:
  • 1 cup quinoa dried
  • 1 ½ cups water or chicken broth. If using water add ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp olive oil
For the broccoli:
  • 1 small head of broccoli cut into florets
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp dried parsley
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
For the garlic breadcrumbs:
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 cloves of garlic minced
  • ¼ tsp salt
To serve
  • 2 cups arugula or mixed greens or spinach
  • 1 cup edamame
  • 1 avocado
  • Cherry tomatoes
  • ½ cup green goddess dressing Use homemade if possible

Method
 

  1. Rinse the quinoa in a fine-mesh strainer, then add it to a medium saucepan with 1 ½ cups of water or broth, 1 teaspoon olive oil, and (if using water) ¼ teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
  2. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the broccoli florets on a baking sheet and drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Sprinkle with garlic powder, parsley, parmesan cheese and salt, then toss to coat. Roast for 15–20 minutes, until the edges are golden and crisp.
  3. Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, just until fragrant. Stir in the panko breadcrumbs and salt, and cook for 3–5 minutes, stirring often, until golden brown and toasted. Transfer to a bowl to cool.
  4. In a blender or food processor, combine Greek yogurt, mayo, parsley, garlic, capers, lemon juice, olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy, adding a splash of water if needed to thin it out. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  5. Divide the arugula (or greens) among bowls. Add a scoop of quinoa, roasted broccoli, edamame, cherry tomatoes and sliced avocado. Drizzle generously with Green Goddess dressing and top with crunchy garlic breadcrumbs.
  6. Serve immediately for the best texture, or pack in containers for meal prep — just keep the dressing separate until ready to eat.

Notes

How to Meal Prep Green Goddess Bowls

Prep each component separately and store in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 4 days. Before assembling, I would warm up the quinoa and broccoli, and then serve with the fresh veggies. Keep the green goddess dressing and garlic breadcrumbs separate until just before eating!
