    Carrot Ginger Sauce is a bright, flavorful and bold addition to any dish!

    Quinoa Salad Bowl with Carrot Ginger Sauce

    Quinoa and spring mix tossed together with a tasty bright yellow Carrot Ginger Sauce, with oven-roasted carrots and tofu, diced red bell pepper, thinly sliced purple cabbage, cubed avocado, fresh carrot curls and an extra drizzle of that delicious yellow sauce!

    Let me tell ya, that is a yummy bowl. And colorful!!

    That Carrot Ginger Sauce turns out bright yellow like the color of yellow mustard – I’m not sure why… I would think it would be orange from the carrots, but I guess not! The proof is in the pudding as they say, or in this case the proof is in the sauce – and yes, it’s yellow!

    This bowl is a perfect example of using food you’ve prepped ahead of time. I used oven-roasted carrots that I had made the day before, but any vegetable would be great in this dish. Roasted vegetables and baked tofu cubes are great examples of food you can make ahead for the week on a prep day.

    I also like to have grains, like rice and quinoa, cooked ahead so they’re easy to grab and put into a dish.

    The star of this bowl and a bold one at that, is the brightly colored Carrot Ginger Sauce that was inspired by “The Love and Lemons Cookbook”.

    Putting it all together –

    I first tossed my greens and quinoa together with this sauce and then added the oven-roasted carrots, tofu, avocado cubes, diced red bell pepper, thinly sliced purple cabbage and raw carrot curls to the bowl.

    After all the components were together, I topped everything off with more of this tasty sauce!
