• 0.5 Avocado 0.5 Avocado
• 2 tablespoons Pumpkin Seeds (Pepitas)
• 3 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 1 Lemon 1 Lemon
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 1 inch Fresh Ginger
• 0.5 inch Fresh Turmeric
• 0.25 cup Fresh Parsley
• 0.25 cup Fresh Cilantro
• 1 tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar
• 1 cup Water
• 0.25 teaspoon Sea Salt
• 0.125 teaspoon Black Pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss diced beets with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, a pinch of sea salt, and black pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized. Halfway through, you can add 1 thinly sliced garlic clove to the baking sheet.
2. While beets are roasting, rinse quinoa thoroughly. Combine 0.5 cup quinoa with 1 cup water and a pinch of salt in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until all water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.
3. Prepare the salmon: Pat fillets dry. Season with a pinch of salt, pepper, and the juice from half a lemon. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in an oven-safe skillet (if baking) or on a baking sheet. Add the remaining thinly sliced garlic clove and place salmon skin-side down (if applicable). Bake or pan-sear for 12-15 minutes, depending on thickness and desired doneness.
4. While everything cooks, prepare the Zesty Turmeric-Ginger Dressing: In a small blender or food processor, combine 1 tablespoon olive oil, the juice of half a lemon, 2 minced garlic cloves, grated ginger, grated turmeric, fresh parsley, fresh cilantro, apple cider vinegar, a pinch of salt, pepper, and 1-2 tablespoons of water (to thin to desired consistency). Blend until smooth and creamy.
5. Assemble the bowls: Divide the baby spinach or mixed greens between two serving bowls. Top with cooked quinoa, roasted beets, and flaked salmon. Garnish with sliced avocado and a sprinkle of pumpkin seeds. Drizzle generously with the Zesty Turmeric-Ginger Dressing.
