Quinoa Bowl with Spring Veggies – an easy, clean eating, whole foods meal that will leave you feeling healthy and satisfied. A big dollop of pesto doesn’t hurt either!

Is anyone else obsessed with spring veggies as much as I am? Especially asparagus. I can eat an entire bunch of asparagus by myself in one sitting. And I love the fresh clean bite of radishes. I put them in salads throughout the year, but I try to bring them into other dishes, too, when they are at their peak. This Spring Veggie Quinoa Bowl is the perfect way to showcase these delicious crisp veggies, alongside bright fresh herbs in the form of pesto, in a light, yet filling, dish.

Tricolor Quinoa

I like to use tricolor quinoa because it just looks so pretty and I was really going for beautiful, bright colors. Of course, any quinoa will work though.

Use Your Fave Spring Veggies

You can also use your favorite veggies. Green peas would be great, as would broccoli.

Assemble the Quinoa Bowl

I like to keep the veggies nice and crisp in this dish, so I lightly steam them for just a few minutes and then shock them in an ice bath to stop the cooking. This also helps preserve the vibrant color. To serve, you can warm them back up by tossing them with just cooked quinoa. Or serve your spring veggie bowl at room temperature, my favorite way. Leftovers are even great cold out of the fridge. No matter what temp you choose to enjoy your spring veggie quinoa bowl, you’re going to want a generous dollop of pesto to go with it! I use my Mixed Greens Pepita Pesto (it’s my absolute fave!), but my Parsley Kale Pesto would be a great match as well.
