  • 1 medium yellow squash
  • 1 large red onion
  • 8 ounces baby bella mushrooms
  • 1 bunch asparagus
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

Instructions

  1. Rinse quinoa under cold water. In a large pot, combine quinoa, vegetable broth, and sea salt. Bring to a boil, then simmer on low for about 15 minutes until liquid is absorbed. Let sit covered for another 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, oregano, basil, sea salt, and black pepper.
  3. Add sliced vegetables to the marinade and toss gently until coated. Allow them to marinate while you preheat the grill.
  4. Grill marinated vegetables over medium-high heat for about 5-7 minutes per side until tender and charred.
  5. For the dressing, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, maple syrup (or honey), minced garlic, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper in another bowl.
  6. To serve, layer cooked quinoa topped with grilled veggies and drizzle with dressing.
