INGREDIENTS

makes 2 bowls

• ½ cup quinoa, uncooked
• 8 asparagus spears, cut into 1” pieces
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 1 cup hummus
• 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• sea salt
• 1 cup chickpeas, rinsed and drained
• 2 cups fresh spinach, packed
• 2 radishes, thinly sliced
• 2 Tbsp hemp seeds

METHOD

Add quinoa and 1 cup of water to a medium pot with a tight-fitting lid. Bring to a boil, cover with lid and reduce heat to low. Cook until the liquid is absorbed and quinoa is tender. Remove from heat and set aside.

While the quinoa is cooking, blanch the asparagus and peas. Fill a medium pot three quarters full of water and bring to a boil, place the asparagus and frozen peas in the boiling water for 2 minutes, drain and rinse them with cold water to stop them from cooking. Set aside.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the hummus, lemon juice, garlic powder and sea salt until well combined. 

Divide the chickpeas, spinach, cooked quinoa, asparagus, peas and hummus sauce equally between two bowls. Sprinkle with hemp seeds and top with sliced radishes. 

Best enjoyed all stirred up together.

You can also sub in strawberries for the radishes for a sweeter, summer dish.
