Sausage & Veggies Grain Bowl

I made this sausage & veggies grain bowl with my one-pan sausage & veggies as the main toppings for the bowl. It’s served on a bed of romaine lettuce, baby spinach and baby swiss chard. I also added purple cabbage and pom seeds to give this bowl a boost of colour and antioxidants. The salad dressing is a simple  balsamic-soy dressing.

All roasted in one sheet pan in the oven, these are the main toppings for the grain bowl: cheese sausage, carrot and zucchini.

And this is my (too) simple dressing of balsamic vinegar, extra virgin olive oil & low-sodium soy sauce. You can add minced garlic, lemon zest etc to give this dressing more depth, but I’m in a hurry and this 1-minute dressing works so well for me.

The tri-colour quinoa is cooked in chicken stock so it’s already lightly flavoured. Click here for the tutorial for cooking quinoa using a rice cooker.
