A nourishing and anti-inflammatory bowl featuring quinoa, leafy greens, avocado, walnuts, and a lemon-tahini dressing, designed to support endometriosis health and overall wellness.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups baby spinach or kale, washed and chopped
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced or cubed
  • 1/4 cup walnuts, roughly chopped
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated or ground ginger
  • 1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced or diced
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 tablespoons tahini
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 small clove garlic, minced (optional)
  • Sea salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • A handful of chopped parsley or cilantro

Instructions

  1. Rinse 1 cup (170 g) of quinoa under cold water to remove bitterness. Combine with 2 cups (480 ml) of water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cover. Cook for about 15 minutes until water is absorbed and quinoa is fluffy. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and set aside to cool slightly.
  2. In a small bowl or jar, whisk together 2 tablespoons tahini, juice of 1 lemon, 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, minced garlic, 1 teaspoon ground turmeric, and grated ginger. Add salt and pepper to taste. If the dressing is too thick, add a teaspoon of warm water at a time until it reaches a pourable consistency.
  3. While quinoa cooks, chop 2 cups of baby spinach or kale, slice half a cucumber, halve 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, and roughly chop a handful of parsley or cilantro. Cube or slice 1 ripe avocado just before assembling to avoid browning.
  4. Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Add 1/4 cup walnuts and toast for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently until fragrant and lightly browned. Remove from heat.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, greens, cucumber, tomatoes, and walnuts. Drizzle half of the dressing and toss gently to coat everything evenly.
  6. Carefully fold in the avocado slices to keep them intact. Drizzle the remaining dressing over the top and finish with fresh herbs for a pop of color and freshness.
  7. Taste and add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice if needed. The bowl should feel balanced — earthy, tangy, and a little creamy.

Notes

Rinse quinoa well to remove bitterness. Toast walnuts to enhance flavor and crunch. Add water slowly to tahini dressing to avoid graininess. Add avocado last to prevent browning. Prep quinoa and walnuts ahead for convenience. Store dressing separately to maintain freshness.
