Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this bowl vegan?
Absolutely – use tofu or tempeh for protein and ensure the dressing is made with nutritional yeast instead of Parmesan.
How do I keep the avocado from browning?
Toss the avocado cubes in a little lemon juice right after cutting; the acidity slows oxidation and keeps the green vibrant.
What’s the best way to reheat the quinoa?
Add a splash of water and microwave for 60‑90 seconds, stirring halfway, to restore its fluffy texture.
