Need the perfect side dish for this summer? Or a great recipe to meal prep for lunches throughout the week? This Broccoli, Quinoa, and Cheeze is such a versatile dish that it can be easily modified depending on what you have on hand. I cook the quinoa in vegetable broth which adds the flavor. Then I add cooked broccoli and vegan cheeze. I added a combination of Simple Truth's plant based cheese and Bragg's Nutritional Yeast. If you have different veggies or substitute the cheeze with a sauce, you could almost create a quinoa pasta salad. However I've only made it this way, so I can't say how tasty it would be.
