Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Vegetable peeler
  • Grill pan
  • Small pot (for quinoa)
  • Grater
  • Skillet (for toasting seeds)

Allergen Information

⚠️ None

Instructions

1 ✓

Rinse quinoa thoroughly in hot water, then boil in salted water (approx 15 mins). Let cool and dry to become 'fluffy'.

Tip: Wet quinoa sticks together. Allowing it to steam off separates the grains.
2 ✓

Snap off woody asparagus ends. Toss spears in 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper.

Tip: Oil coating protects veg from drying out and aids heat transfer.
3 ✓

Grill asparagus in hot pan for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until charred but still crisp (al dente).

Tip: Overcooked asparagus becomes mushy and stringy. Keep it bite-sized!
4 ✓

Peel carrots and raw beets, then grate using large holes.

Tip: Raw grating preserves cell wall crunch and vitamin content.
5 ✓

Toast seeds in dry skillet for a few minutes until they start popping.

Tip: Heat releases essential oils, intensifying flavor experience.
6 ✓

Slice avocado and drizzle with lemon juice (anti-oxidation). Arrange ingredients in bowl in neat groups, drizzle with remaining oil and lemon juice.

Tip: Aesthetic plating (separated piles) makes food more appetizing (gastro-psychology).

Recipe FAQ

Where do I snap the asparagus?
Hold both ends and bend. It will snap exactly where the woody, old part meets the tender stem. Natural selection!
Can I eat raw beet?
Absolutely! Grated, it's sweet, crunchy, and full of vitamins that would break down during cooking.
