Veggie Medley Ingredients

- 1 organic zucchini
- 1 organic head of broccoli (we actually lightly steamed a bag of frozen broccoli for this one, so the broccoli in the photo wasn't completely raw)
- 1 organic tomato
- 1 organic onion
- 3 stalks of organic green onion
- organic minced garlic (we like lots of it!)
- organic lemon
- organic coconut oil
- organic olive oil
- salt and pepper

Quinoa Ingredients

- 1 cup of organic vegetable broth
- 1 cup of filtered water
- 1 cup of organic quinoa, rinsed
- dried oregano

To prepare:

Bring 1 cup of veggie broth and 1 cup of water to boil over high heat. Once the mix is boiling, add your rinsed quinoa, stir, reduce to simmer and cover. Leave covered for about 15-20 minutes, until you can't see the liquid bubbling anymore. Stir to fluff when it's finished.

Chop and mix the veggies and toss them in a large bowl. Add the oils, lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper, stir, and serve on top of the bed of quinoa. We added a dollop of hummus for some added texture and flavor (not pictured).

Enjoy!
