Ingredients
  

1 cup quinoa, rinsed

2 cups vegetable broth

1 cup chopped kale, stems removed

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup cucumber, diced

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 cup corn (fresh or frozen)

1 avocado, sliced

½ cup radishes, thinly sliced

¼ cup red onion, finely chopped

½ cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional)

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh cilantro or parsley, for garnish

Instructions
 

Cook the Quinoa: In a medium saucepan, bring the vegetable broth to a boil. Add the rinsed quinoa, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for about 15 minutes until the quinoa has absorbed the liquid. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.

    Sauté the Kale: In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the chopped kale, seasoning with a pinch of salt and pepper. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes, until the kale is wilted but still vibrant. Set aside.

      Prepare the Veggies: In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, diced red bell pepper, corn, sliced radishes, and chopped red onion. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and lemon juice, and season with smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss gently to combine.

        Assemble the Bowl: In serving bowls, start with a base of cooked quinoa. Layer on the sautéed kale and then the colorful veggie mixture. Top each bowl with sliced avocado, crumbled feta cheese (if using), and a sprinkle of fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley for added flavor and freshness.

          Serve and Enjoy: Drizzle with extra olive oil and lemon juice if desired. Serve immediately for a healthy, satisfying meal.
