Instructions

  1. Step 1: Rinse 1 cup quinoa thoroughly under cold water. Combine with 2 cups water in a saucepan, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until water is absorbed and quinoa is fluffy.
  2. Step 2: While quinoa cooks, dice 1/2 red bell pepper and 2 medium carrots into matchstick-sized pieces. Thinly slice 1/4 cup purple cabbage. Halve 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes.
  3. Step 3: Heat 2 tbsp avocado oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced vegetables and cook for 5 minutes until tender-crisp and slightly caramelized, stirring occasionally. Season with 1/2 tsp cumin and 1/4 tsp sea salt.
  4. Step 4: Fluff cooked quinoa with a fork, then divide into bowls. Top with the warm vegetable mixture, 1/2 sliced avocado, and squeeze of lime juice. Sprinkle with extra cumin if desired, ensuring the bowl has seven distinct colors for a true 'Land of Oz' experience.
