DIRECTIONS
| |
Take your spring mix out of the refrigerator so that it can come to room temperature while you are cooking.
| |
In a small pot, prepare quinoa as directed on packaging, using vegetable broth instead of water.
| |
Wash and peel the sweet potato, then dice into medium sized cubes.
| |
Warm oil, cinnamon, and 1 tsp of black pepper in a pan over medium heat, then add sweet potatoes, stirring to coat and then arranging in an even layer. Cover with a lid and let cook, flipping occasionally for even browning on both sides. Add hemp seeds the last few minutes. (Potatoes are finished cooking when golden brown and tender)
| |
While potatoes are cooking, make the dressing
| |
Zest the orange. Then combine the zest with the juice of both the orange and the lime in a small container with a lid (you’ll be shaking this up to mix).
| |
Add basil, honey, poppy seeds, and ½ tsp of black pepper, then shake vigorously. Sit to the side.
| |
When potatoes are finished cooking, add mixture to cooked quinoa along with the arils (seeds) from your pomegranate and stir well.
| |
Thinly slice avocado and apple.
| |
To prepare, use one handful of spring mix, then a healthy heaping of quinoa mix. Layer apple and avocado slices. (Maybe a few pecans and sunflower seeds if you have any leftover from last week).
| |
Drizzle with dressing and Enjoy!
