Easy Peasy Quinoa Bowl




This is one of the easiest dishes I've made in a while (okay, okay, most of my dishes are rather easy).  It's one bag of frozen Trader Joe's Quinoa Vegetable Melange, a fresh avocado (sliced and sprinkled with some lime juice), some grape tomatoes (halved), and the juice from 3/4 of a fresh lime. Prepare the quinoa package as directed and pour it into a bowl, squeeze some lime juice over it, and stir. Top with the tomatoes and avocado. Voilà, it's ready to eat!

As a quick weeknight meal with a decent amount of nutrients, this one is a keeper. I might add some spring mix, onion, or other fixings next time, but it is pretty good with this combination. Alone, the TJ's Quinoa Vegetable Melange has a decent flavor but is a bit boring for a full meal. Adding the fresh ingredients gives it another layer of flavor and texture that I really enjoyed.
