Let's Get Started
- Rinse the quinoa under cold water and drain. In a pot, bring water to a boil and add the quinoa. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 15 minutes until the quinoa is cooked.
- While the quinoa is cooking, heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the tofu cubes and cook until they are golden brown on all sides. Season with salt and pepper.
- Steam the mixed vegetables until they are tender.
- In a blender, combine the ripe avocado, lemon juice, garlic, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth to make the dressing.
- To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked quinoa, sautéed tofu, and steamed vegetables evenly. Drizzle the avocado dressing on top. Serve immediately.
