Ingredients

  • 1-2 c. cooked quinoa

Instructions

  1. Cook your grains according to package directions. Use whatever you like! Make the vinaigrette. In a high powered blender or food processor, blend the basil, lemon juice, vinegar, honey, olive oil, salt, and pepper until completely smooth.

  2. To assemble, portion the grains into bowls, then top with spinach, zucchini noodles, grilled corn, and heirloom tomatoes. Drizzle with basil vinaigrette and top with crumbled feta. Season with salt and pepper to taste!

Recipe Notes

*To grill my corn, I always brush with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and grill on medium/high until charred.
*I buy the quick cooking farro to save time. I buy it at Trader Joe's and Whole Foods. It takes 10 minutes to cook.
