Quinoa is such a versatile grain. This bowl mixes all the flavours of the Thanksgiving table in one dish. Gluten free and packed with antioxidants, protein, fiber, minerals, healthy fats, leafy greens and flavour, this is pretty much the main meal for me! I would definitely call this a one-pot wonder. It has become a staple on my holiday table and I have watched it crowd out the other—do I dare say—Thanksgiving culprits. It’s even better the next day!
