INSTRUCTIONS
-
Cook the quinoa:
Start by rinsing your quinoa under cold water. Then, cook it according to package instructions (usually about 15 minutes) until it's light and fluffy. Set it aside to cool. -
Prep the veggies and olives:
While the quinoa is cooking, chop up your cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, and avocado. Set them aside and get your Fiery Hot Thai Pepper olives ready by halving them. -
Whisk the dressing:
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and honey (if using). Add salt and pepper to taste. This dressing is light and tangy with a slight sweetness that balances out the heat from the olives. -
Assemble the bowl:
In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and Teta’s Olives Fiery Hot Thai Pepper. Toss everything gently to distribute the olives and veggies evenly. -
Add the finishing touches:
Top your power bowl with slices of avocado, a handful of arugula, and, if you like, sprinkle some feta cheese for an extra layer of flavor. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley to brighten it all up. -
Serve and enjoy:
Drizzle the dressing over your quinoa bowl and give it one last toss before serving. Grab a fork, dig in, and enjoy the fiery, zesty flavors that Teta’s Olives bring to this healthy, hearty meal.
