Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Quinoa, uncooked
  • 2 cups Vegetable Broth or water
  • 1 cup Cooked Black Beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup Roasted Sweet Potato, cubed
  • 1 cup Steamed Broccoli florets

  5. Pour the dressing over the quinoa and vegetable mixture. Toss gently to coat everything evenly.
