Mediterranean Quinoa Bowls with Roasted Red Pepper Sauce

Spinach tomato salmon quinoa bowl with pesto dressing

For sauce, only put 1/4 cup of olive oil, 3 garlic cloves, and juice from 1/2 lemon.

The pepper dip tastes amazing, definitely don't skip it! I didn't have almonds so used almond butter instead and didn't add olive oil, equally delicious! Give it a go!

The idea for this recipe is great, but the ingredients just didn't seem to mesh together, even with the red pepper sauce. If I make it again, I will use different veggies and maybe use the quinoa and veggies to stuff mushrooms or peppers. It just seemed to be lacking any cohesive flavor.

The recipe is great and so easy to add, delete or substitute ingredients. Super fresh tasting!

I only made the roasted red pepper sauce - it was AMAZING. I roasted my own peppers. I didn't have enough almonds so I used half pecans too. Worked well. Savings it just for that. I made a quinoa bowl of my own, but I really was just throwing stuff in (sauteed mushrooms & onions, black beans, a hard boiled egg, avocado). Turned out wonderful.

Do yourself a favor and throw in an extra garlic clove. The sauce was so good!!!

The sauce was really good, just make sure you blend the almonds completely. I added grilled chicken and change the feta for mozzarella.

Adding grilled chicken made it better!
