2cupsgreen leafy veggies like spinach, kale, or romaine
1block firm or extra firm tofu, pressed and cubed
1/2medium apple of your choice, diced
Instructions
Prepare the quinoa by boiling 1 cup of water over high heat. Add the rinsed quinoa, cover, reduce the heat to medium low, and simmer for 13 to 15 minutes until the water is absorbed.
Remove the quinoa from the heat and set aside to cool.
In a mason jar or a salad dressing shaker, add the olive oil, vinegar, mustard, maple syrup, salt, and pepper. Whisk or shake thoroughly to combine.
Assemble the bowls by filling two bowls with 1 cup of greens each, then topping each with ½ of the cubed tofu and ½ cup of quinoa. Add the chopped apple on top and around the periphery of the bowl.
Drizzle the power bowl with dressing and serve immediately or pack for lunch the next day.
Notes
Feel free to replace apple with pear or tangerine slices. There may be quinoa or dressing left over which can be perfect meal prep for other dishes.
