Ingredients
Quinoa
  • 1 c red quinoa
  • 2 c water
  • 3 Tbl olive oil
  • 2-3 Tbl lime juice
  • ½ - 1 tsp salt
Bowl Toppings
  • ¾ lb smoked salmon (I used hot smoked)
  • 1 bunch broccolini
  • 1 avocado
  • 1-pint cherry tomatoes
Yogurt-Lime Sauce
  • 2 c yogurt
  • 2 Tbl lime juice
  • 2 Tbl olive oil
  • 2 tsp maple syrup
  • 2 tsp umeboshi vinegar
  • Fresh ground pepper
  • Optional: 1 garlic clove, or garlic salt to taste
Instructions
Quinoa
  1. Rinse the quinoa in a fine mesh strainer and transfer to a medium saucepan.
  2. Heat on medium until all the water is absorbed to lightly toast, then add the water, bring to a boil, then simmer for 15-20 minutes until all water is absorbed.
  3. Transfer to a bowl and toss with olive oil, lime juice, and salt. Adjust your seasonings to taste.
  4. Divide into 4 bowls and set aside.
Bowl Toppings
  1. Flake the salmon in chunks.
  2. Steam the broccolini for 5-8 minutes.
  3. Chop the tomatoes in halves or quarters.
  4. Slice the avocado in thin slices.
  5. Divide all topping ingredients evenly on the quinoa.
Yogurt-Lime Sauce
  1. Add all ingredients to a bowl and mix until combined. If using garlic cloves, it's best to use a high-speed blender. Adjust your seasonings to taste here.
  2. Top the bowls with the sauce or serve on the side.
  3. Enjoy!
Notes
  1. Umeboshi vinegar is pretty salty. If you substitute a different vinegar you may need to add some additional salt to the sauce.
