Ingredients
  

Grilled Vegetables

  • 2 Sweet Potatoes
  • 3 Zuchinnis
  • 1 Red Onion
  • 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • A dash of salt and pepper

Quinoa

  • 2 Cups Quinoa
  • 4 Cups Water
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Paprika

Tahini

  • 1/2 Cup Tahini Paste
  • 4 Cloves Minced Garlic
  • 1/4 Cup Lemon Juice
  • 7 Tbsp Water
  • 1/2 tsp Salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 425° F. Cut the vegetables into semicircles and lay them on a baking tray, evenly spread out.
  • Toss together the cut vegetables, salt and pepper, with olive oil. Bake for 20 minutes, until crispy.
  • Rinse the quinoa thoroughly to remove the bitterness.
  • Add the quinoa, water, salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika and black pepper to a pot and boil. Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer until there's no more water.
  • Add the tahini paste, water, lemon juice, salt and garlic to a bowl and mix until smooth and creamy. You can also blend it for quicker results. Once done, sprinkle paprika on top.
  • Assemble the salad. Start with the quinoa, layer on top the vegetables. Serve with the creamy tahini on top.
