Summer is back, and so is our love for all things tangy and fresh! This veggie quinoa bowl can be mixed and matched to suit your preferences (or whatever you have left in your fridge that needs to be used up). The real star is the tahini lime dressing– it can be used as a salad dressing, a sauce for quinoa bowls like we’ve done here, or even to marinate tofu!
