This Moroccan quinoa bowl combines the best flavors of Morocco in a packed plate, brought together by the unifying tahini topping that adds a gentle touch. I love layering this dish on a bed of quinoa, followed by spreading the aesthetic vegetables in layers above. This burst of color isn't just good to look at, it also tastes amazing and provides a boost to your energy levels - perfect for a mid week lunch on the go. Remember that you can always substitute out vegetables that aren't your favorite for vegetables that you prefer. Store this dish in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
