Ingredient Breakdown

Quinoa: A Superfood Base

Quinoa is not only a complete protein, but it’s also rich in fiber, iron, and magnesium. Cooking it in vegetable broth enhances its natural nutty flavor, making it the perfect base for this salad.

Roasted Vegetables: A Flavor Boost

Roasting vegetables caramelizes their natural sugars, creating sweet, smoky, and deep flavors that take this salad to the next level. The combination of bell peppers, sweet potatoes, zucchini, and tomatoes provides a mix of textures and colors.

Lemon Vinaigrette: The Perfect Dressing

This dressing balances zesty citrus, umami-rich Dijon mustard, and mild sweetness from maple syrup, bringing all the salad ingredients together with a refreshing, tangy touch.

Instructions

Step 1: Roast the Vegetables

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Place chopped zucchini, bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and sweet potato on a large baking sheet.
  3. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. Toss to coat.
  4. Roast for 25-30 minutes, tossing halfway through, until vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.

Step 2: Cook the Quinoa

  1. While the veggies are roasting, rinse the quinoa under running water.
  2. In a medium saucepan, bring vegetable broth (or water) and salt to a boil.
  3. Add the quinoa, reduce heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 15 minutes until the liquid is absorbed.
  4. Remove from heat and fluff with a fork. Let it cool slightly.

Step 3: Prepare the Lemon Vinaigrette

  1. In a small bowl or jar, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, maple syrup, garlic, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Adjust seasoning to taste—add more lemon for brightness or more maple syrup for sweetness.

Step 4: Assemble the Salad

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine cooked quinoa and roasted vegetables.
  2. Drizzle with the lemon vinaigrette and toss gently to coat.
  3. Stir in fresh parsley or basil and any optional add-ins like nuts, seeds, or chickpeas.

Step 5: Serve & Enjoy

  1. Serve warm or cold, garnished with extra herbs and toasted nuts.
  2. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Tips and Variations

  • Make it a complete meal: Add tofu, tempeh, or chickpeas for extra protein.
  • Spice it up: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for heat.
  • Nut-Free Option: Replace nuts with seeds (sunflower or pumpkin) for crunch.
  • Meal Prep Friendly: Store dressing separately to keep the salad fresh longer.
