Quinoa Sliders With Green Goddess Aioli Recipes

QUINOA SALAD WITH VEGAN GREEN GODDESS DRESSING

Steps:

• Bring 2 cups of water or vegetable stock to a boil in a 2 quart pot. Add 1 cup Bob's Red Mill quinoa and return to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to medium and let simmer until water is absorbed, about 12 minutes. Remove from heat, fluff, cover and set aside to cool while you are preparing the rest of the recipe.
• In a small blender or food processor, blend the avocado, jalapeño, 1 clove of garlic, ⅓ cup basil, ¼ cup parsley, lime juice from one lime, 1/2 tsp of salt, 1/3 cup of water, and 2 tbsp avocado oil until smooth and creamy.
• Add 2 tbsp of avocado oil (or olive oil) to a skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is heated, add the ½ cup green onions and 1 tsp minced garlic and sauté for 2-3 minutes. Add the 1 cup broccolini, 1 cup corn, and 1 cup zucchini with the ½ tsp salt and ¼ pepper and cook, stirring a few times, for 7-8 minutes.
• Toss cooked quinoa in ¾ cup of dressing and stir well. Add cooked veggies to quinoa and stir well to combine. Add some or all of the remaining dressing. Stir in 1 cup cherry tomatoes, 1 cup arugula, and ½ a cup of dairy free parmesan and enjoy!

QUINOA SLIDERS WITH GREEN GODDESS AIOLI

Steps:

• Squeeze the liquid from the grated zucchini by wringing it out in a paper towel or cheesecloth. Combine zucchini and beaten egg in a medium-sized bowl. Add quinoa, breadcrumbs, parmesan, garlic, dill, salt and pepper, and stir until just combined. Chill for at least 15 minutes.
• While the mixture is chilling, make the aioli: combine all ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth.
• Using a 1/4 measuring cup as a mold, form round patties by pressing firmly in between the palms of your hands. Heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and when oil is hot, add the patties and cook until crisp and golden, about 3 minutes. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil, flip the patties and repeat.
• To assemble the sliders, split and toast the brioche buns if desired. Layer one slider patty per bun with cucumber, tomato, lettuce and a dollop of green goddess aioli.
