Not really a recipe. More like leftovers made right. I’m calling this my Leftover Quinoa Lunch Bowl.
It all starts with a bed of quinoa. Followed by some toasted walnuts. Topped with whatever fresh veg I have around and then tossed with either pesto or scallion sauce – whichever I have handy.
Sooooooo super satisfying, especially in the summer heat.
