Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 cup quinoa
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small red onion, diced

Instructions
- Rinse the quinoa under cold water using a fine-mesh strainer.

- Add the red bell pepper and zucchini to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
- Stir in the cherry tomatoes and baby spinach, and cook for 2-3 minutes until the spinach is wilted.
- Add the cooked quinoa to the skillet and toss everything together. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Divide the quinoa and veggie mixture into serving bowls. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley and crumbled feta cheese if desired.
- Serve the quinoa and veggie bowls with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top. Enjoy!
