Ingredients

For the grain bowls:

  • 1 pound broccoli cut into florets
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • salt & pepper
  • 1 cup uncooked quinoa rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup grapes halved
  • 16 ounce can chickpeas rinsed and drained
  • 1 avocado chopped*
  • 4 ounces goat cheese crumbled
  • ½ cup sliced almonds

For the dressing:

  • ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Place broccoli florets in a baking dish and toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast broccoli for 20-25 minutes, until crisp-tender.
  • Meanwhile, place the quinoa and 2 cups water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, lower heat to a low simmer, cover, and cook for about 15 minutes, until water is absorbed.
  • While the broccoli and quinoa are cooking, make the salad dressing. Place all dressing ingredients in a bowl and whisk together.
  • To assemble the grain bowls, to each bowl add ¼ of the quinoa, ¼ of the broccoli, ¼ of the grapes, and ¼ of the chickpeas. Slice the avocado and divide it between the bowls. Crumble on the goat cheese and sliced almonds. Drizzle with the dressing and serve.

Notes

*If you are meal prepping or making these ahead of time, I'd recommend that you wait to add the avocado right before eating to avoid browning.
