  • Prep Time: 5m
  • Cook Time: 35m
  • Total Time: 40m
  • Serves: 4 people

Ingredients

  • 1 c Quinoa
  • 1 3/4 c Chicken Broth
  • 1 1/2 tsp. ground Cumin
  • 1/2 tsp. Paprika
  • 1/2 tsp. Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 tsp. Onion Powder
  • 1 can Artichoke Hearts, 14 oz., chopped
  • 1 c Cherry Tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 English Cucumber (seeds removed, chopped)
  • 1 Hass Avocado

  • 4 romaine lettuce leaves

Instructions

  1. Put the spices, quinoa, and chicken broth in a pot and bring to a boil. Once boiling, lower the heat to a simmer and cover. Cook until the liquid is evaporated, about 25 minutes. Fluff the quinoa with a fork.
  2. Place all the veggies in a bowl and add the quinoa. Stir together. I sometimes like to add a squeeze of lemon juice at the end to brighten up the dish.
  3. Place in Romaine Lettuce "bowls" as pictured above!
