Summer quinoa bowl? You don’t have to ask me twice, because I’m the biggest fan of bowls. They are quick and easy to make and very good to prepare. I also often meet people who say they can’t eat well when they are at work. This is exactly where bowls come in, as they are perfect as a to-go dish. The individual components can be combined according to your mood and in the end the dressing is still the crown on this delicious dish. Quick, easy, uncomplicated and above all much cheaper than many dishes that you buy quickly at lunchtime for lack of alternatives.
Summer quinoa bowl
Our bowl consists essentially of two components. The vegetables, quinoa, black beans and a salad of choice form the base. It comes with a delicious dressing with tahini, which is really nice and creamy and super aromatic. As a topping I use pumpkin seeds or sometimes I like to use sesame seeds. I decide that depending on my mood.
For the vegetable part, I opted for cucumbers, cherry tomatoes and fresh arugula. In addition, black beans, which I particularly like in bowl. They provide good satiety, thanks to complex carbohydrates and vegetable protein. The mixture makes the difference, I would say.
Now all that’s missing is the tahini dressing, which is whipped together in no time. Overall a fine thing, quickly made and irresistibly delicious.
TIP: When it comes to vegetables, you can use whatever is in season. I can also imagine spring onion, zucchini, kohlrabi, carrots or red cabbage very well in this bowl.

Today’s dish is really quick to prepare, especially if you’ve already precooked quinoa. Our bowl today is easy to fall in love with and a quick and inexpensive alternative for a healthy lunch at work.
A nice side benefit is the fact that the bowl is packed with healthy ingredients. Vegetable proteins, healthy fats and complex carbohydrates make them unbeatable to the pizza from the Italian around the corner. So it’s definitely worth preparing a bowl more often.
