Serve in wide, shallow bowls to showcase the colorful layered components. Arrange ingredients in sections rather than mixed for visual appeal - quinoa base, roasted vegetables, fresh vegetables, and garnishes. Drizzle dressing artistically over the top or serve on the side. Garnish with fresh herbs, sesame seeds, or pomegranate arils for color and texture. Accompany with warm pita bread or lavash for dipping. For individual servings, use meal prep containers with separate compartments to maintain texture until ready to eat. Lemon wedges on the side for extra brightness.
How to Store?
Store components separately for best results - cooked quinoa in airtight container for 5 days, roasted vegetables for 4 days, dressing for 7 days, and fresh vegetables prepared daily. Assembled bowls will become soggy if stored more than 24 hours. All components freeze well except fresh vegetables and dressing - quinoa and roasted vegetables freeze for 3 months. Thaw overnight in refrigerator and refresh roasted vegetables in oven before serving. Dressing may separate when frozen - whisk vigorously after thawing. For meal prep, assemble dry components and add dressing and fresh elements just before eating.
