Ingredients (serves 4)
1 C quinoa, uncooked (I used tricolor quinoa, but any variety works!)
2 C water
2 medium zucchini
1 medium yellow squash
1 C cut green beans (fresh or frozen, if frozen thaw first)
1/2 C walnut halves and pieces, raw, unsalted
4 C arugula, raw
1/4 C olive oil
1/2 C shaved parmesan or pecorino cheese (optional)
dash salt
dash pepper
1 tsp paprika
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. 2. Place quinoa and water in large pot and bring to a boil. Once boiling, cover, reduce heat and allow to simmer until all liquid is absorbed, approximately 15-20 minutes. 3. Wash and dry zucchini, yellow squash, green beans and arugula. Chop zucchini and yellow squash and place on baking pan. Drizzle with about half of the olive oil and season with salt, pepper and paprika. Bake in oven until tender, approximately 15 minutes. 4. Steam green beans (either over the stove or place in microwave safe bowl with 1-2 tsp water, covered, until bright green and tender). 5. Add 2 Tbsp water to a separate, small pan and warm over medium heat. Add arugula, cover and allow to wilt, approximately 3-4 minutes. 6. Add wilted arugula, steamed green beans, walnuts, roasted vegetables and remaining olive oil to quinoa and mix ingredients. Transfer to serving bowl and top with shaved cheese, if desired. Enjoy!Â
